[vortex] Using WOL for other purposes...

Does anyone know how to enable the WOL function of a 3c905C-TX card
regardless of the CPU/powersupply/bus state?  I am hoping to implement a
'Reset on Lan' function by attaching the WOL signal to the reset switch
of the computer via a relay. (On my PRIVATE NETWORK!)  I am trying to do
this in a way that does not depend on the state (happiness) of the
operating system running on the computer.  Any suggestions will be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh
