[ale] RedHat 7.2 WOL

environment: I have an Asus A7Pro motherboard, Realtek 8139 Lan card with WOL 
connector cable attached to motherboard, and RedHat 7.2. I guess that my 
power supply is sufficient because the LED light in the case (on the 
motherboard) stays lit.

I have downloaded and compiled ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/diag/ether-wake.c
and also tried
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/misc/wakelan-1.1.tar.gz

I cannot get my computer to start using Wake On Lan. It is my understanding 
that the LAN card light is supposed to be on when I halt the computer. Is 
that right? There is no light on the LAN card (and the LED on the hub is also 
off) when I use shutdown -h now or poweroff. Does anyone know how  to get 
wake-on-lan working with Linux?
