The adapter does. The problem is the USB port. With all devices, the USB ports are not supplied with power when they are switched off - consequently, the adapter does not work. The "Always on USB" option in the BIOS can provide a remedy, but that may not work either. It is best to check whether the USB ports always supply power (e.g. with a USB stick with a built-in LED or similar). If all this works, the WOL configuration is also possible with this adapter.
