Oh and as for testing... we should see the card send null data frames
every now and then. That's when we know it went into its WoW mode.

Isn't Wow support platform dependent (BIOS...)
I think that only S3, and only if bios doesn't turn (put in D3cold) the
wireless device, it could work.
Btw, as I understand, WoW implies that somebody sends a packet with som=
e
predefined pattern, and that wakes the system, right?

In addition to that you also need a link from the wireless device to
the motherboard to turn it on. Not sure of the details here, still
gathering that but a good public read is on wikipedia:

=46or wireless and at least for Atheros we borrow WOL's magic packet,
Link change, beacon miss and user pattern -- which could be something
like an ARP request so that if someone pings it it'll come up for
example.
