Often times, a WOL header is present on a MOBO for connection to a PCI
NIC card, and the onboard NIC will not respond to WOL b/c it requires that the chipset receive power at all times (from the Standby voltage circuit) and doing so would require the chipset to have 2 different power connections. I have not checked my a7n8x to see whether this is the case, but this WAS true with my SIS735 chipset based mobo (ECS k7s5a). Also, usually a "magic packet" transmission program is required to wakeup a computer via a network connection, depends on the NIC. -- Best regards, Kyle "Maria" wrote in message ... | I have PCI wake-up option enabled in my bios (latest version) but nothing | happens.

I don't know of a single wireless NIC that has WOL capabilities, i.e.
maintains the 5v connection for this to work. If you think about it, this makes sense because the card has to be able to filter out all other radio signals for a correct wake-up signal.
