My system is:
Intel CC820 motherboard (which supports PME# wake up for wake on LAN)
3com 3C905C which also supports wake on LAN via PME#
Linux 5.5
The motherboard BIOS is later than one that reports an issue with WOL
and this particular network card was fixed.

I have now purchased a WOL cable but that has not helped.
There are no options in the BIOS for WOL and I have updated to the
latest.
I have found this page <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=951563">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=951563</a>
which refers to using pci-config to force the bus power to be left on
for the card prior to shutting down. Could this be the problem and if
so where do I get pci-config (or the equivalent) for Centos as I can't
identify a package to install that.

<font face="sans-serif">To get mine to work under fedora I had to run
ethtool and turn on the wol option.<br>
Also it seemed to get reset after used wol to start it up so in my
rc.local I put<br>
/sbin/ethtool -s eth1 wol g<br>
/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g<br>
