Your biggest problem w.r.t. Solaris and WOL is not the NIC being
able to wake, but the framebuffer being unable to suspend (nobody has
provided any Solaris drivers for the Matrox FB's, and without a driver
to restore the hardware, you will be without a working display).
There is a _possible_ workaround, but that requires the BIOS to
re-POST on resume. Currently only nVidia and Intel framebuffers are
known to work with suspend in Solaris.
I'll discuss the other stuff separately.
