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
