Thanks very much.
Wake On LAN should actually be able to wake a system up from power off state, so it should reasonably work for suspended systems too.
As a first thing, the NIC LED (or the LED on the ethernet switch) should be on; it will be on even when the system is switched off, if WOL is active.
Surprisingly, it is on when I "shutdown -h" the machine, but off when I set the machine to hibernate.
Then WOL has to be enabled. You can trust the BIOS or, better, run
ethtool eth0
and you will get something like
Supports Wake-on: pumbag Wake-on: g
I had forgotten about ethtool. I do indeed get "Wake-on: g" which I see means "Wake on MagicPacket".
So I must see if and hopefully how I can send the machine a "MagicPacket".
