I don't think you can leave a wireless NIC in standby like you can a
wired one.  To receive WOL packets, a wired NIC is supplied with a very
small voltage by the motherboard, so it can recognize the magic packet,
and trigger the wakeup.  A wireless NIC would need to be on, connected
to your network, with all your encryption settings loaded - which are
managed by the OS.

Why shouldn't it work with a wireless NIC.  What does a wired NIC
receieve that a wireless doesn't?
