Yes. That works brilliantly to get the MAC correctly programmed. I can get the server to start with a WOL packet from my server. The issue is the shutdown or startup (not sure when the BIOS is being written..from my tests I believe it's only happening as it closes the server down soft). So I can issue the shutdown from the GUI, watch it turn off, then send the WOL packet to start it up. What I notice is that the date then is reset to 2009 in the system and NTP fails to work anymore (messing with it sometimes locks the server up). SSH in to the server shows me the incorrect system date. So sometimes a bootup with wrong date, sometimes an invalid BIOS profile, and sometimes a wiped BIOS... Mostly the latter two. hwclock doesn't link to the device, so I'm not sure where it's doing the write to BIOS configuration. I was curious if anyone had noticed it, and maybe..just maybe modded the system to not mess with it. I have to admit I only noticed this when I configured WOL, so I am not sure if that did not cause this. I have noticed a lot of posts on the topic about shutdown causing BIOS reset, but again..can't tell if they were doing WOL hacks first or not.
