Actually I wasn't able to get any machine to resume based on
USB devices - notable keyboard, be it sleep/power button (on
the keyboards that have it) or any other combination of keys
configured in the BIOS.  Most motherboards I tried are from
Asus, one or two from Gigabyte and one more from Biostar.

That's why I use PS/2=>USB adaptor, to connect an USB keyboard
to a PS/2 port - this one works just fine, with all the mobos
I tried (provided the appropriate BIOS settings are turned on
and ever exists, to start with).

Hm.  That's.. curious.  Here we go, my home machine whihc I turn
on every day from a PS/2-connected keyboard:

It's all disabled!  But I *know* it wakes up
from network and from ps/2 keyboard at least!
In the corresponding BIOS menu almost everything
is enabled (excluding RTC alarm, but including
USB events).  This is an Asus motherboard, M3A-78EM,
with latest BIOS.

Here's another one, Gigabyte's GA-MA74GM-S2H,
which definitely wakes on network:

Device	S-state	  Status   Sysfs node

PCE6	  S4	 disabled  pci:0000:00:06.0

PCE8	  S4	 disabled

hmm.  Blaming BIOS, as usual? :)

But even if that's the case, why there's a difference
between "just" power-off and power-off when suspending?

The kernel is 2.6.31 vanilla.

Thanks!
