The ReadyNAS Pro, which is x86 based, does support WOL. So, leaving out WOL was a marketing decision to keep the price down by $5. The thing is, WOL really is a very convenient feature in home networking. You add some really simple switch to the HTPC interface to send the magic packet to the NAS (like "wake up my media vault"). Simple configuration, simple operation. Even simpler that what I've done for now, with a scheduled wake-up every day at around 15h30 and shutdown at 03h00. K.

what aint there, aint there, and i doubt they will change the hardware after years on market, just to accomodate you.
if you need wake on lan, you should purchase a device that supports it (like all newer x86-based readynas).

i know thats not what you want to hear, but thats about the only thing you can do. whining about it wont change the facts.
