    Does the m17x r3 support wake on lan? I don't see it in the bios anywhere. There is "shutdown wake up" and "wake up capabilities" on the "Advanced" tab of the network adapter. On the power mgmt tab of the network adapter I see the option grayed out for "allow this device to wake the computer". I'm afraid there is no wol support???
