Suspend and wake on lan

Hi,

I'm having some trouble getting wake on lan to work after the computer is
suspended. Wake on Lan works if I shut down the computer normally (i.e. it
powers up again when I send the magic packet), but doesn't wake up when I
suspend the computer to disk and then send the magic packet. I ensure that
wake on lan is enabled before suspending by running `ethtool -s eth0 wol g`.

The computer is an AMD Athlon, using a Gigabyte GA-71X motherboard with VIA
KT400 chipset.
The on board network chip is a RealTek RTL8139, using the 8139too driver.

I've tried the kernel from debian testing (2.6.18) and a hand built 2.6.19.1
kernel, both with the same results.

I've tried uswsusp and the in-kernel suspend, again both with the same
results.

Can you help?

Regards

Rob
