I'm also not sure whether that's fully sufficient, since I never got it to work (at least not with WiFi ;-) ). Also, it seems extremely driver dependent to configure more complex stuff than magic packet (i.e. anything else is not in the normal device manager GUI, but in the driver-specific options for each device). >> So if it was a driver bug, it would have to be present both in >> Windows and Linux drivers - but I guess it's just another case >> of broken system firmware *sigh*. > > Agree, that seems rather unlikely.

Want to ask the manufacturer for help? ;-) I believe my Chinese is not good enough to contact the original manufacturer - and the W230SD is already not manufactured anymore, I think (even though it still was current a year ago or so). I also doubt the German company which relabelled the Clevo barebone (Schenker) will care. The other laptop is >4 years old now, and an Alienware machine with dedicated GPU (only), so they probably did not care too much about any power saving / ACPI wakeup feature at all. But anyways, WoW-LAN for me would just have been a nice feature, but is not essential for survival. With cheap can-be-always-on-devices like a Raspberry Pi, I guess WoW-LAN in consumer-grade laptops is becoming less and less interesting. Also, I personally do not have a must-have usecase for it. Thanks anyways! :-) Oliver
