Possible to turn p5b on via USB?

I've searched the internet but to avail. Anyone with a P5B managed this? I want to be able to turn the pc on by pressing the keyboard, i assume its possible as others have done it with other MB

Cheers

If it'll work it'll be somewhere in the BIOS. Probably with the Wake on Lan function somewhere.

I have wake on Lan, but what exactly does that do? cheers

Wake on Lan will power on your PC via Network connection......as set up....but not USB

Are there not other Wake on xxxx options ?

Do you know if there are other motherboards that have this feature for USB keyboards?
