(TO INTEL)

The Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers for Windows 7 64-Bit version 14.3.1 release notes say

Features removed from this version: 

Wake on wireless LAN is not present in this version of the application.

I have a mini-PCI Express Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6230 card and would like to know when/if the "Wake on Wireless LAN" (wowlan) feature is coming back?

Please note that this feature have not being available since version 12.3 (for certain adapters) and it seems that this option will not come back for intel wifi adapters.

I just noticed this in 15.1 for Centrino 2230 as well.

Does anyone know why this is? It's a fairly pedestrian feature that's in most NICs, wireless or not.
