Is there Wake-On-LAN for Inspiron 7737?

I've updated my BIOS to latest version of A13 for my Dell laptop Inspiron 7737, however, the BIOS does not show support for Wake-on-LAN (WOL).


There's USB Wake, but that's not what I'm looking for.

I'm attempting to use PXE to remotely turn on my Dell laptop.

OS: Windows 7 Pro x64-bit

My laptop's network cable is hooked up to a un-managed Cisco Linksys layer-2 switch.

After putting into suspend/hiberate mode, there's no link activity reported by the switch.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Please note that I've already change the power management options in an attempt to keep the NIC active at all times.  However, my switch shows no link light when I suspend the laptop which suggests that the NIC went offline anyway.   This suggests that perhaps the BIOS function for WOL needs to be added in the future?
