I have had real problems understanding the WOL function with my ASUS P5B-VM motherboard. I enabled it in bios, but it wouldn't work. I tried a PCI intel card and that worked. I tried a PCI-E device and no joy.
Today I discovered Webmin and ethertool. With various intel controllers the following turns on the WOL function for squeezebox 3s using the magic packet signal. "sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g" sudo is the temporary root command for kubuntu and other similar distros. -s allows you to change a parameter. eth0 is the device name wol is the command g is the instruction to allow magic packet signals. Please be careful as i would imagine you can do quite lot of damage to the LAN card. If you need further info try "ethertool manual" search on the good old google.
