No. The driver from this page does not work, too. All leds are off and net
card seems to be without power.

May be I do something wrong: I power off my PC using /sbin/poweroff
command. In /etc/modules.conf I have options for 3c95x: debug=3 (for the
kernel-distribution driver I've added enable_wol=1, but this driver does
not support enable_wol option.) I have no other special settings.
Is it correct?

I've added some extra debug info into the driver. It seems, that functions
pwr_event nor cleanup_module are never been called. The kernel calls only
vortex_close() but NOT cleanup_mdule(). Is it correct? I don't think so.
The function cleanup_module contains WOL related code (e.g. acpi_set_WOL).
