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?
