Do the lights on the network card light up when it’s connected but off? I believe you should have blinking lights if the card is on. Might be some kind of power setting in the bios to keep the network card on/off?
I have had hit and miss WoL on some of my machines, one work around is to use a smart plug of some kind to turn the power on/off, and there should be a setting to boot the PC when the power reconnects? May not directly help you, but might also be easier?
I think the integrated card can still be power saved off, but it might depend on the motherboard and/or bios.
Might also be worth seeing if the WOL magic packet is actually being sent properly, by running tcpdump/Wireshark on your server and triggering WOL. https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/537886
Maybe try a different PC to send the WOL packet if it doesn’t arrive?
