You need a system that supplies enough power to the NIC while the PC is
off (standby, really), for WOL to work. Some motherboards have jumpers
for how standby power is handled (+VSB - positive Stand By, for
keyboards, mice, other peripherals), and some have headers to to connect
a power lead from the motherboard standby supply to a socket on the NIC.
