Why in our new Dell R515 Rack Server the Broadcom BCM5716C NetXtreme II GigE device has the "Allow this device to wake the computer" option always disabled? We have enabled hibernation and need to wake up this machine using WakeOnLan.

Thanks.

You probably have not properly set the BIOS settings, which are also required for WOL to work.
