        A quick groups.google.com search for "wake on lan" linux posted
a few answers, but none of them are good.. It sounds like you need to
send the card a special ethernet packet? Even then you have to have the
stuff enabled in your bios. To my mind, it wouldn't be linux's place to
start the machine from off at the first sign of a packet, it would be
the lan cards or the bios. Try looking into abm (the power managment
service) to see what levels of sleep you can move your machine into...
Sleeping the hdd, screen, and processor sound like a better solution
than waiting for the machine to boot from dead anyway.

        Good luck!
