I have enabled all the wake up features in my bios, and I have verified the magic packet gets to the pc.
I suspect the main problem is that the NIC light is completely turned off after the shutdown, but even after spending a lot of time researching I can't understand if this is a limit of my network card, my mobo, or something in the OS which needs to be configured correctly in order to leave the NIC in stand by mode with the light flashing.
the NIC is Realtek 8139, the motherboard Asus P5L13L-X
