because of WAKEUP_BEFORE and WAKEUP_BEFORE values...

with mb=2 this is only needed if changing the status bit (en-/disable
wakeup)

Hmm, I would suggest to compile with ACTUALLY_WRITE=OFF, call nvram-wakeup
with a time, say (as you tried) 11 minutes in the future and write down
all values nvram-wakeup _would_ write into nvram. Then go into BIOS setup
and set the same date and time manually. Then run nvram-wakuep without
options and compare the values from nvram (wich were set by the BIOS
setup) with those you wrote down previously.

you also could send me the output of both runs.
