My system is:
Intel CC820 motherboard (which supports PME# wake up for wake on LAN)
3com 3C905C which also supports wake on LAN via PME#
Linux 5.5
The motherboard BIOS is later than one that reports an issue with WOL
and this particular network card was fixed.
If the card goes dark when the system is off but still plugged in, the card
does not get its power and signal from the pci bus and will need the header
cable plugged in. There is no other way... The card HAS to be powered from
somewhere at all times so it can activate the system.
I have now purchased a WOL cable but that has not helped.
There are no options in the BIOS for WOL and I have updated to the
latest.
I have found this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=951563
which refers to using pci-config to force the bus power to be left on
for the card prior to shutting down. Could this be the problem and if
so where do I get pci-config (or the equivalent) for Centos as I can't
identify a package to install that.

To get mine to work under fedora I had to run ethtool and turn on the
wol option.
Also it seemed to get reset after used wol to start it up so in my
rc.local I put
/sbin/ethtool -s eth1 wol g
/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g
