I believe the WOL signal is an output from the card to the motherboard, and the other two wires are the PC standby 3.3V and ground. As for PCI cards and slots beware! I blew up my 3.3V PCI target board last week by plugging in a cheap "Edimax" realtek NIC, which was laid out as a universal PCI card (had both notches), but had connections between Vio (3.3V=20 in my system) and +5V dedicated pins. -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://sources.redhat.com/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss
