Please log in for more thread options WakeOnLAN looks good but my motherboards don't have it. Is there an adaptor? Any way / other way I can do this? Preferably a cheap solution! But let's start with any solutions! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

However it is a fairly common feature on motherboards now, is it possible yours has integrated NIC that simply doesn't show the feature because you're using a generic MS driver instead of the full featured driver from the manufacturer? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

At some point, maybe PCI revision 2.2, if PCI PME is enabled in the bios (or always enabled if there is no setting), the NIC does not need the wire connecting it to the mainboard. PCI 2.2 boards were around in the (late, IIRC) Pentium 2 era, and thereafter. Some board manufacturers may word the bios setting differently than others, might be something like PME or called wake on PCI card or something else, but essentially meaning the same thing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Amazing how this feature is so universal - with PCI 2.2, yet still MBRDs are made that don't allow booting from USB !! <snip>
