My question is: does my motherboard support Wake on LAN
I am turning an old computer into a Ubuntu server (headless) using a GA-F2A85X-UP4 (rev. 1.0) mobo and am trying to configure it with WW-DRT router to wake on LAN. So far, its not working. The first thing I wanted to check was to confirm that WOL setting was active in the BIOS settings, but there is no entry for WOL.
The only reference in the manual I found is on page 53, which says:
PS - I have a wifi PCI card plugged in, so I'll remove it so it might be intereferring with the wired LAN connection. I'll try some other trouble shooting.

The only reference in the manual I found is on page 53, which says:
ErP Determines whether to let the system consume least power in S5 (shutdown) state. (Default: Disabled) Note: When this item is set to Enabled, the following functions will become unavailable: PME event wake up, power on by mouse, power on by keyboard, and wake on LAN.
ErP is disabled, so I assume that the WOL is active and the system is monitoring the network for a signal. But if anyone can confirm that the MOBO supports WOL, that would be much appreciated.
