Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection Windows 10 driver
Precision T7600
Workstation more than capable to run Windows 10 x64 1607
Windows 10 comes with some default driver (dated 2016) that installs & works OK.
But does NOT provide WoL at all!
Only one I managed to get working with WoL is:
e1c63x64.sys
12.2.45.503
31/10/2012
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=615P2
Network_Driver_615P2_WN_17.3.0.2_A07
Completely NO GO (as nothing gets installed, there is just no driver for this hardware) is:
Intel® Network Adapter divers release 21.1 for Windows® 10
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/47549/Intel-82579-Gigabit-Ethernet-Controller
Anybody has any idea what is so "special" about this very hardware? Obviously SUBSYS_04951028&REV_05 is very Dell specific
Anybody has link to any newer driver that does provide WoL?

What version of BIOS?
Sure this is a driver issue vs a power or sleep state issue in BIOS? If BIOS is powering the NIC down, it won't WoL regardless of what driver is installed.

Thanks Ron, but the answer is unrelated to question!
The latest for this machine is A12
Of course it is not "a driver issue versus a power or sleep state issue" as the firmware/OS settings are correct and the Dell specific driver works with WoL while Windows 10 default does not! It is only a driver issue (and the default Win 10 one is just totally messed up!).
In fact Dell provides later driver (still only Windows 8) that does also work with WoL
12.6.45.0

http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=NNGMH
Intel 825xx 10/100/1000 Ethernet Controller Driver
Network_Driver_NNGMH_WN_18.1.0.0_A08.EXE
and I think the latest available (Windows 8.1 specific) is:
12.10.29.0

Driver customizations never work with OEM specific hardware using the generic windows drivers.
Your model supports windows 10
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/SupportedOS/precision-t7600
This is why AD198X soundmax has Model specific drivers. Generic windows HD audio drivers don't work with the business speaker and other "features" of Dell Audio ESP.
WOL on generic cards often needs a cable that goes to the machine to "wake". How this is done varies by model and manufacturer.
Thats also why INTEL stopped supporting OEM graphics and chipsets on some models.
Dell also is not going to support windows 10 on all models for the past 25 years.
Directed Broadcast of magic packets is DISABLED By default in most routers and software etc.

And what do I care about AD198X?
Also the 765Mb cab contains a VERY old Network_Driver_615P2_WN_17.3.0.2_A07.EXE , no, thanks
