Wondering if you can help me with an issue with the WOL feature in release "9.1.0.1 - Sandstorm (revision 775)"

I have a brand new and currently empty HP Microserver N54L installed thus :

NAS4Free 9.1.0.1 (revision 775) x64-embedded; HP ProLiant AMD Turion(tm) II Neo N54L Dual-Core Processor 1920MiB RAM

The BIOS has the WOL setting as enabled/true.
The ifconfig -m shows "WOL_MAGIC" in the list of aliases on the only installed ethernet card (bge0) :
==============================================
bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

==============================================

When I send a magic packet on my network, I can see that windows PC's can detect the message as being sent, but it doesn't wake the server.
Is there a tool that can be installed on an active NAS4FREE service that can also detect if a packet has been sent (and that matches its MAC Address would be a bonus) ?
From this I can rule out if there is a local network/routing issue and then focus attention on why the card is not being put to sleep in the correct state.

Any help appreciated. I'm relatively experienced with linux and windows, but when it comes to network hardware drivers, I'm a bit lost !

Does the server have to be shutdown in a certain way (ie, put to sleep?)
The only shutdown option I see is "Shutdown Server" which perhaps is the issue ?

The computer to be awakened is shutdown (sleeping, hibernating, or soft off; i.e. - ACPI state G1 or G2), with power reserved for the network card, but not disconnected from its power source. The network card listens for a specific packet containing its MAC address (called the magic packet), broadcast on the broadcast address for that particular subnet (or an entire LAN, though this requires special hardware or configuration).

I cant see that in NAS4FREE that ACPI capability is actually enabled. And therefore WOL support is futile. Has anyone ever got this working on this OS ?

check the bios if wake from pcie is enabled

I have the same problem with the same hw. I couldn't found a way to use WoL with HP Microserver internal NIC and NAS4Free.

It seems the only solution is to add a new PCIe Ethernet card with WoL support. I hope someone can give us help to solve the problem.
