Your card is supported, now to configure wake-on-lan:

Install ethtool
```
sudo apt-get install ethtool
```

Edit /etc/rc.local to add this line before the exit 0 line:
```
ethtool -s eth0 wol g
```

Find out the MAC address of your network card (replace eth if with your interface name, eth0, eth1, ..):
```
ifconfig eth | grep "HWaddr" | awk '{print $5}'
```

Shutdown the machine. You should be able to wake it up using:
```
wakeonlan your_mac
```
