There should be a BIOS option for the onboard ethernet: allow
wake-on-LAN, wake-on-keypress, wake-on-mouse-movement,
wake-on-timer, wake-on-smelling-coffee....

Then you send a wake-on-lan packet from another machine
with etherwake (needs root) or wakeonlan (needs MAC addresses,
not root) http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/jpo/software/wakeonlan/
