Well, my mainboard supports it, but by searching around on the web, a

If the BIOS supports waking off PCI LAN cards you can pick one up for
the cost of a sandwich.


BIOS says it supports that. Do you have recommendations for a special 
card? I think the Intel Gigabit Adapter would be a good choice!?



Does it work if you Suspend instead of Halting the machine? I don't
know if WOL is supposed to work from Suspend but if it did, it'd work
around your problem nicely.


I think I tried that as well with no success.

We could probably use a new fdisk, I think this would be a good
project.

You may want to have a look at
http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/sfdisk/  This is the fdisk tool
used in sysinstall, and has a decent interface.  It's similar to
cfdisk from the Linux-world (but nicer to use IMO).
