Why would the Matrox Graphics card be in the way sort to speak, I thought that the nge0 NIC drivers are the only concern, when my machine is on and working the Matrox PCI graphics card work very well.
By Nvidia FB, do you mean front Bus, if that's the case then my motherboard is equiped with an Nvidia front bus. My intention is only to wake my machine up via another machine on the same LAN (I am sure waking the machine via WAN will be a whole different ball game, even machines that are working well with WOL via LAN sometimes struggle to do the same via WAN). Could I possibly use the same perl tool that you are using and is working, will it work with my set up? I can see that my NIC is awake sort to speak as the light are on and I should imagine it's still powered, this I think is taken care off by the settings in the bios where the Wake up by onChip LAN is Enabled, as for the NIC drivers to be ready to accept the magic packets I am not sure about that. In my mind the user interaction with the NIC drivers should only happen if the user requires WOL to be used on his machine and for this there should be different commands available for the user depanding on which NIC manufacturer he is using. Is there a work around to get WOL working on my set up quickly as I am pretty desperate as I am running out of hdd space on my PC and would like to offload some of the data to the NAS, but I don't want to fully commit and offload all this data only to find that WOL will not work. I will help as much as I can as a user if needed to get a good Solaris solution on the shelf sort to speak.
