Max, When your PC is powered off, there is no power sent to the wireless NIC.
The PC must keep some power going to the NIC in standby mode for it to receive the WOL magic packet and send a signal to the motherboard telling the PC to wake up. WOL will work wirelessly if the device sending the packet is Wireless and the device to be woken is using a regular Wired NIC connected to a Wireless router via ethernet cable. There's also some other bit of setup required which I documented in my previous post. This FAQ is very useful http://www.dslreports.com/faq/wol -- oreillymj _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
