In addition to that you also need a link from the wireless device to the motherboard to turn it on. Not sure of the details here, still gathering that but a good public read is on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN > Btw, as I understand, WoW implies that somebody sends a packet with some > predefined pattern, and that wakes the system, right? For wireless and at least for Atheros we borrow WOL's magic packet, Link change, beacon miss and user pattern -- which could be something like an ARP request so that if someone pings it it'll come up for example.
