Wake on LAN

Hi everybody,

I want to be able to power on my debian machine from my Windows PC, so I've installed a WOL enabled NIC and interconnected it via a WOL-cable with the mainboard. However, when i power off the PC all LEDs stay lit, but nothing happens when I send the magic packet.

Code:

debian:/# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
No data available

Code:

debian:/# lspci | grep 'Ethernet'
0000:00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Accton Technology Corporation EN-1216 Ethernet Adapter (rev 11)

Code:

ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:F1:50:58:82
          inet addr:192.168.0.152  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1348 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1192 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:247510 (241.7 KiB)  TX bytes:157332 (153.6 KiB)
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0xd400

Netboot/WOL is enabled in the BIOS as well...

Thanks in advance,
Denny
