Nope, afraid I can't help you there. Also, a long hard day's work never hurt anyone, as I'm sure most people writing in this forum can agree with. Be grateful you've got work, it's better than being on the dole. No I'm not before you suggest it.

Yes, I have heard of typo's, but I'm in the dreaded 'monday' mood, hence pointing your one out. Please forgive me!

Hmmm... I may have something to add: this problem seems to me, to be due to the way that linux shuts the machine down.
If I shutdown with the power button, WOL works! If I shutdown with poweroff it doesnt...

Someone with the same problem you're having, suggested to unload the kernel module of your nic and stopping the network yourself before poweroff. I know poweroff does the same, but maybe it's a bug.
Code:
ifconfig eth0 down
rmmod <nic module>
poweroff

I have an onboard e1000 what i got working with wol.

my solution was to change RC_DOWN_INTERFACE back to yes in /etc/conf.d/rc

RC_DOWN_INTERFACE="yes"

and i also removed

#ethtool -s eth0 wol g

since the interface is in g mode anyway

in other words : if you do nothing it works

Linux version 2.6.17-gentoo-r8
