Tried yesterday to get it working with my Neoware Via thin client with an integrated 8139 network card that uses the 8139too driver, no joy. I tried first under Debian, and after I hosed that install, under Ubuntu. I followed a lot of wiki pages and howto's, all in vain. I could get it working once by disabling acpi and pressing the power button on my box to shut it down, which was the same as plugging the power cord since acpi didn't do a proper shutdown, and left the filesystem corrupt (fortunately only the OS partition, fsck checked also the music partition, but didn't report any error there, it said only something like 11% non contiguous, which hopefully really means that no files were corrupted). After that the box waked from a magic packet, but certainly you understand this procedure is not viable. So I have given up on Debian based distros and wanted to ask if anyone has it working and if yes with which distro or if anyone knows a distro I might try that has spent some more resources on the kernel and network drivers regarding WoL.
