Yes.

Yep, I checked all of that. I'm pretty sure that the BIOS settings are
correct; wakeup on PHY activity seems to work (although it's quite
pointless).

I've just built myself an USB stick with Windows XP and I'll try the
network settings there. I've heard rumors that the XP driver does
something regarding WOL which the Linux driver doesn't, so I'll try
that. Is there a way to compare the persistent settings afterwards, i.e.
by comparing lspci -xxxx ?

Yours, Florian
