Does anyone know of a PCIe Wifi card that sopports Wake on Lan? There are lots of Google hits on how to set it up and the one thing they all ahve in common is you need a wifi card that supports WoL. I am trying to set up this feature on my home network so I can power up/wake my desktop remotely from my laptop, both are running Windows 7 64bit home Premium. Thanks for any ideas.

Search Intel they suppose to have something that presumably should work.

At the moment the best solution is to use an Inexpensive Wireless Router configured as a Wireless Client Bridge.

A Wireless Client Bridge is basically a Router working as a Wireless card that does not count on the computer and its drivers.

The computer sees the Wireless as regular wire Ethernet thus can be configured to wake-up through the Wireless.
