OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...

mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

Heres my fix for Wake On LAN on Legacy.
To implement:
First, create a file called wolset.sh containing the following script:
With root access, execute the following commands:
You can ignore the warning messages from the update-rc.d command.
And thats it. Wake on LAN will be enabled / disabled depending on settings in frontview.
To enable, go to frontview System / Settings and tick "Wake on LAN" under "Power". To disable WOL, clear said tick.
Thanks to Skywalker for helping me with the WAKE_ON_LAN config setting.
