As reported in bug #9512 [1], on my system, Commell LE-365 with RTL-8169 NIC (02:08.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet [10ec:8169] (rev 10)) reported as RTL8110s in dmesg, I need to do 3 steps to get WoL working properly (the third step being new since 2.6.26 or 2.6.27): ethtool -s eth0 wol d > /dev/null && \ ethtool -s eth0 wol g > /dev/null acpitool -w | grep 'P2PB.*enabled' > /dev/null || \ acpitool -W 7 > /dev/null echo enabled > "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:08.0/power/wakeup" The patches in reply to this message replace steps 1 and 3. I'm not sure what is still missing as after shutdown (power-off) WoL is not possible until a power-cycle. It seems like step 3 does slightly more that what the replacing patch does. In an ideal world it looks like step 2 shall be done automatically by PCI subsystem while processing call to pci_enable_wake() which calls platform_pci_sleep_wake(). I have not analysed what platform_pci_sleep_wake() does and the fact that on my machine there is no ACPI wake-up record for the NIC itself but just one for the parent PCI brige (that one is required for any WoL to effectively work) certainly does not help.
