Thanks.  In fact, the 'disabled' column doesn't really mean totally disabled.
It means one of the mechanisms one can use is disabled.

For PCI, 'disabled' in this column shouldn't really matter any more.

These two cases are handled differently by BIOSes.

Can you please check if /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup contains
'enabled' for the PCI devices called USB0 - USB6 above?

Better use 2.6.32-rc for debugging this.
