To be honest, I doubt I'll ever get wol lan running, unless I ever get around to running a cable into my loft from the lounge (where my router lives). My current alternative plan is to have my server wake itself up at a particular time each weekday, and a different time each weekend. It already turns itself off at 11pm if no devices are playing, so this seems a reasonable solution.
