O.K., I went not into too much detail in my post, but I actually was
quite systematic when I tried to enable it yesterday. ;)
I have modified the halt script (remove -i argument) and also made so
that the ethtool enables WoL when shutting down the machine (ethtool
command in /etc/init.d/networking). This didn't work in Debian, but
worked in Ubuntu, so after I power the machine up now ethtool tells me
that WoL is enabled, which it didn't before my modifications. So much
likely it is a network card driver issue, which is also hinted to at by
the fact that 'lspci -vv' gives me this for the network card:
"Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-"
It should be this:
"Sorry for now, can't find the site atm because I didn't bookmark it,
may add it later ;))"
according to some info I found yesterday.
I will try to compile the 8139 driver myself (didn't think of that
possibility yesterday), hopefully I don't get stuck at that. Of course
it would be nice to use a distro that simply works. ;)
