Does anyone know if there are motherboards available with a 'wake-on USB' option? I've had a look round the ususal suspects, however specs seem to be restricted to wake-on ps2 (mouse/keyboard) and wake-on LAN.

It would be nice to wake-up my HTPC via the USB ATI Remote Wonder!

Well, I might have answered my own question!

Having read my motherboard manual again (Asus A7N266-VM) it would appear you can set USB device wake-up via jumpers. I'll be checking this out tonight...

However, it does say that USB wake-up is enabled by default from S1, so I'm still not confident this is working right with the ATI remote.

Any of you guys acheived this?

I have an Abit NF7-S and according the manual you can wake up the machine from "sleeping mode" with the USB.
