Here is the issue. If I turn on my computer and turn it off before it leaves the BIOS screen (that is, before booting Fedora and shutting down), I can successfully turn on the computer over wake on LAN. However, if I have just shut down from Fedora, wake on LAN does not work.
I add "/sbin/ethtool -s [interface] wol g" to rc.local.
In my case (Asus board, integrated nVidia nForce NIC) I had to use some more tricks. Fedora applies ifdown on eth0 when shutting down and it successfully deactivates WOL. I had to activate eth0 just before power goes down.
#!/bin/sh # file: /sbin/halt.local ifconfig eth0 up ethtool -s eth0 wol g
