Hi. Google has always been my friend, except on this issue where it has been no help whatsoever.

My question:

Is it possible to perform a wake-on-lan (WOL) call to a machine that is connected to a wireless network?

Regularly, WOL "magic packet" would be received by a wired network card. Is there a PCI wireless network card that would have power reserved for magic packets when the computer's off, just like a regular non-wireless card?

If you can't receive WOL over wireless then WOL is only for clunky wired routing.

Thanks.
