Do you have a 3c905B with Wake-On-LAN connected?

If you have a 3c905B with the Wake-On-LAN cable connected to the
motherboard, please try the following:

Record the station address of the 3c905B card in the form 00:11:22:33:44:55.

[[Note: you'll need to be root to run 'pci-config' and 'ether-wake'. ]]

On the machine with the 3c905B card do:

  ncftp cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov:/pub/linux/diag/pci-config.c
  cc -O -o pci-config pci-config.c
  ./pci-config
Note the index e.g. "Device #5" of the 905510b7 device.
  ifconfig eth0 down
  ./pci-config -#5 -M
  shutdown -h now

Now soft-power-off the machine.  The link LED should remain lit -- the
transceiver is powered by the WOL cable, which gets standby power from the
ATX power supply.

>From a remote machine on the same network do the following:

  ncftp cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov:/pub/linux/misc/ether-wake.c
  cc -o ether-wake ether-wake.c
  ./ether-wake 00:11:22:33:44:55

If all goes as I expect, the machine should power itself up.

Send a report...
