I thought Wake On Lan was a feature of the hardware bios rather than the
OS.
Yes, The actual waking up is done by the ethernet hardware (when
configured in the BIOS), but the O/S or an app generally has to "prime"
the WoL ready to be woken as it shuts down, I've not really fiddled with
waking windows PCs, more Linux PCs ...
