Hi,
Trying to play with wol, wake on lan for the first time.

I've got this motherboard: Asus NCCH-DL (http://www.asus.com/999/html/events/server/srv-mb/ncch-dl/overview.htm) - it is from 2004.

The onboard NIC is: IntelŪPRO /1000 CT Network Connection (http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/1000ct/)

I've got Phoenix Bios V6.00PG

I can't find anything about wol capabilities in the bios, but this strikes me as weird as the motherboard supports two CPUs.

Also, I don't know if this has any relevance, but if I turn the computer off the lan port is still lit.

My question is: Can I set up WOL with this setup, or do I need to get another NIC?

Edit: The lan controller is Intel 82547GI (http://developer.intel.com/design/network/products/lan/controllers/82547gi.htm) (according to the manual for the mobo), which seems to support wol. However, there is nothing in the documentation that says where in the bios it should be turned on. I can't find it when looking for it either.
