One uses Magic Packets.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN

To do this, first install a wol client on another machine to broadcast
the wakeup:
# yum -y install wol

Then read about the options:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/wol

Then one wakes the target machine...


All my Intel mobos with onboard network can be waked up (no need to install anything, but net-tools):

sudo /sbin/ether-wake ip-addr (wakes computer with ip-addr)

Then, in /etc/ethers, I have the mac addresses associated to IP addresses:
 
# see man ethers for syntax
# andromeda
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ip-addr


Never tried with suspend or hibernate. Only when the computer power is off.
