Asus P2B needs a ptched nvram driver

from  where  did you copy it? It has to match to the used kernel -- please
try to recompile nvram driver for your kernel.

does nvram-wakeup complain about anything?

first,  recompile  your nvram driver and/or kernel and try it again. Since
it works with your "full" distribution, it should work on the mini system,
too

yes, if you're going to use nvram-wakeup

of course you can compile the nvram driver into the kernel, then you don't
need the module.
