e1000, 2.6.1[34] - WOL not working

Hello,

with 2.6.13 and 2.6.14, after I shutdown the computer I can't wake it up with the "MagicPacket" over the network. With 2.6.12 and 2.6.12.x it is working.

Steps to reproduce:
Boot 2.6.14, "ethtool -s eth0 wol g", press the power button, acpid runs "/sbin/init 0", the computer poweroffs, the link LED on the switch goes off and WOL is not working. With 2.6.12 the link remains on and WOL is working.

More mystery:
When I pull out the power cord for a while after the shutdown from 2.6.14, the link LED on the switch goes on and WOL is working. So it looks like 2.6.13 and .14 is in fact disabling the WOL.

Distribution: Gentoo

Hardware Environment:
CPU P4 with HT, MB Asus P4C800-E Deluxe (Intel 875P chipset) with onboard e1000 (Intel 82547EI) connected to a 10/100 switch
