I don't know much about WOL, but my ethernet card (LinkSys) has WOL capability. From what I gather, the ethernet card gets plugged into a special plug on the motherboard (there is a cable on the card). When the ethernet card gets some signal, it sends the appropriate signal to the motherboard, which then wakes up the system. I don't know what the signals are or how to config the system but I do know that the motherboard must support it. -D
