The netdev mailing list is used for everything in the network subsystem.

I removed most people from To/Cc because I think for now they aren't needed
and our conversation would just bother them.

I assume you want to wake the system from S5 (poweroff).
Does is wake from S3 (suspend-to-RAM) ? You can trigger this with
"systemctl suspend".
Any difference if you enable WoL manually via ethtool "ethtool -s <if> wol g" ?

And a basic question: Once you have powered off your system, is network
LED on PC and router on?
