I am a newbie in this great project. So far I have successfully installed DSM 5.1 on an old Acer REVO3600 with Intel ATOM 230 inside and a 3GB Ram. Very happy with it. Then I wanted to have WOL and found this guide:http://xpenology.me/how-to-activate-wol/ which mentions as requirement to WOL:
I seem to have lost the concept here. I don't understand what happens with the PC's real MAC. Do we have to change it by flashing the NIC? Do we need to change just the syslinux.cfg file by putting a fake (or the real ) NIC's MAC?
If somebody could clarify it for me , it would be really appreciated .

Validity pair of MAC address and serial number
I tried to follow this guide here: http://xpenology.me/how-to-generate-synology-mac-and-serial-valid-pair/ but with no luck.
