</div>Just to be clear, we're talking about this wiki, right?<br>

If so, I already read it, but I'm not clear about what 'usb receiver' you're<br>
talking about. I have a USB wireless keyboard, but 'space bar' only powers<br>
the machine when it's off, it does not work when it's in S3 sleep for some<br>
reason.<br>
<br>
If you meant a USB IR receiver, do you mean that if any data is received on<br>
the serial port (not just 'ring'), it will trigger a wakeup?<br>
(I would think not, so I'm confused)<br>
<br>
Right now I can wakeup using either:<br>
- pushing the power button<br>
- wake on lan packet<br>
- RTC timer set before suspend<br>
<br>
Please tell me what I'm missing to wakeup using a remote control that does<br>
not involve soldering and "if you do this, you might fry your system" if<br>
possible :)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
