Start real simple...
1. Check BIOS supports wakeup and is turned on in bios
2. Set a wakeup time in the BIOS
3. Watch if system wakes
4. If yes, set new wakeup time writing direct to /proc/acpi
5. If yes, try setting wakeup time using script like acpi-wakeup
(www.generationd.com)
6. If yes, link this script into myth
If you get stuck at step 1 or 2, you need mobo support.
