I have never used a system with a NIC that actually has a special cable

if that makes a difference, but I always thought (and verified by
experiment for my hardware) that I needed to suspend the system for WOL
to work; starting a machine which had simply been powered off with the
shutdown command never worked. Again, maybe this is possible with
certain
hardware, but it would certainly be special.
Wake On LAN wakes a system from poweroff. There is no need to suspend or
hibernate.
Check the BIOS or motherboard specification, but the machines I have
which can use WOL *must* be powered off fully, they won't wake from any
kind of sleep or standby mode. The specification may state which S modes
the WOL will work on.
