Did you check that WOL was enabled? I need to re-activate it after each boot (I guess that's normal, not sure though). The output of "ethtool eth0" should show: Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: g Also, I remember a bugzilla entry in which it was said that the MAC was somehow reversed by the driver. I that is still the case (I can't find the bugzilla entry right now), you might just reverse the MAC address in your WOL packet to workaround the bug.
