The Wake on Lan functionality operates below the operating system level.
It's actually a signal to the mainboard that simulates the power button
(though it can only turn a system "ON" as far as I know). This feature
should work fine for any system whose BIOS supports it, though I can't
imagine turning a *BSD system off? ;)

The onboard management stuff is a mixed bag. Some of that is just renamed
functionality (it has a boot NVRAM that can be programmed through the
card, etc). Other things, like the ProSet software is windows only. Even
so, it's still a good card. The controller chip on that card is widely
used on motherboards that have integrated ethernet, so it enjoys
widespread support by practically every PC operating system.
