Although the issue has been "solved" it has been through the use of a workaround, rather than a true fix.
The workaround involves an edit to /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/disable_wol AS WELL AS installing ethtool. Simply installing ethtool does not in itself provide a fix for the problem. Somebody with more expertise in scripting would need to explain to me the intended function of the disable_wol script, but it's clearly intended to take input from somewhere to either enable or disable wol. The edit which produces the fix should, presumably, not be required at all. With the edit in place, the script always keeps wol disabled irrespective of any argument directed to the script. Can somebody explain the intended function of disable_wol in simple language? That might get us closer to understanding the true nature of the problem.
