problems with wake-on-lan

hi there!

i want to enable the wake-on-lan feature of my server. it has an asus a7n266
motherboard (nforce420) and a noname rtl8139-based network card.

ethtool reports:
root@rosi:~# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: MII
PHYAD: 32
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: pumbg
Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
Link detected: yes

so i assume that the driver supports wol and everything is turned on. when i
shutdown the computer (shutdown -h now) the led at the nic turns off, too.
i read somewhere that the led should stay on. however, there is a led on
the motherboard indicating that the standby power is on. and i've set the
"power up on pci card" in the bios settings to "enabled". there is no
wake-on-lan connector on the mb or the nic.

so if i try wakeonlan -i 192.168.1.255 00:50:fc:85:b6:36 nothing happens.

any idea somebody?

i should add that:
root@rosi:~# cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
Device Sleep state Status
PCI0 4 enabled
PCI1 4 enabled
UAR1 4 disabled
UAR2 4 disabled
PS2K 4 disabled
USB0 4 disabled
USB1 4 disabled
