I did some structured tesing:
1. WOL does _not_ work at all when I do:
(grub) boot into initrd
(initrd) modprobe forcedeth
(initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g
* (initrd) poweroff
2. WOL does _not_ work at all when I do:
(grub) boot into initrd
(initrd) modprobe forcedeth
(initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g
* (initrd) Alt-SysRq-O
3. WOL works using the _un-reversed_ MAC when I do:
(grub) boot into initrd
(initrd) modprobe forcedeth
(initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g
* (initrd) Alt-SysRq-B
* (grub) halt
4. WOL works using the _reversed_ MAC when I do:
(grub) boot into initrd
(initrd) modprobe forcedeth
(initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g
(initrd) exit
* (Debian) poweroff
If I do the poweroff from linux (either initrd or Debian), forcedeth
seems to display some messages just before poweroff. I'll try to get
hands on a Serial-USB-Converter and a NULL-modem-cable to capture it,
since my laptop is legacy-free :-(

PS: initrd is actually initramfs, before somebody wonders.
