Apparently the Gigabyte G1.Sniper does not support WOL with its bigfoot killer nic. I never thought to check as this feature has been supported on every mobo I've used for many years. I figure I'll just plunk in another card for WOL only. So I picked up an intel pro/1000 GT that supports wol. Now I notice my network traffic going out through that instead of the killer nic. How should I configure the new intel card so that it is only available for WOL and the killer nic handles all other network traffic?

--> Is your lan card PCI 2.2 revision?
If so, the Intel lan support WOL thru PME and use onboard BIG foot for your network traffic.
--> But you need to check the following on your Intel aln card as belows:
a. Please check the user enable from device manager for Intel Pro lan card:
a. Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
b. Allow this device to wake the computer.
c. Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer.

It looks like lan port 2, the killer nic does not support WOL, however lan port 1 does. Using your suggestion I was able to use WOL without purchasing a nic separately. Thanks for the suggestion!
Different motherboard than the G1 sniper I take it??? In any case...glad my 1.5 yr old reply helped!
