Motherboards (and ethernet cards) that are PCI 2.2 (or above) should
support PME (Power Management Events) signals to be sent back and forth
without the need for a WOL cable. For that to happen you sometimes need
to enable PME in the BIOS (sometimes called Enable Wake On Lan) along
with "Reserve Power for PCI Cards" which keeps the PCI cards powered up
during ACPI/G1 or G2 states (Sleep, hibernate or shutdown).

Also if ur nic is a pci or pcie nic the wol cable must be connected to
the motherboard header for it to work with wol.

I just tried WOL using an Intel 1000GT PCI NIC, (using no wol cable between
the NIC and the motherboard) and it works fine.
The tested motherboard is a GA-EP31-DS3L, which (sadly) does not have WOL in
the BIOS.
Certainly many NIC's and motherboards will need those cables, clearly not
always.
