This is very known problem (at least for me)

On my desktop, /proc/acpi/wakeup controls all the wakeup sources, and if
disabled, nether addon cards (ethernet) nor internal devices
(usb,ethernet) will wake up the system.

I think that proc/acpi/wakeup should be synced with power/wakeup
attribute.

Also, I would be really happy to see bogus (empty) power/wakeup
attributes be gone.

Also, something is broken in regards to PME from addon cards:
