So far I've tried and failed to get a Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 to wake 
from the network.  It had the most recent BIOS (F13), which did not have 
a WOL option.

A UEFI BIOS is available, so I've installed that, and still failed to 
get it to wake up.  There are a bewildering number of undocumented 
options, none of which mentions WOL.

Adding an Intel PCI card made no difference.  The card LEDs are on when 
the system is off, but it still doesn't wake up.

Once manually started, the system works fine, and ifconfig shows 
WOL_MAGIC.

Any suggestions on things to try?  I'm open to going back to a normal 
BIOS... if it will let me.  It runs fine either way.
