Upgrading to kernel 3.0 didn't help either.
Any suggestions would be apreciated,
Thanks.

Did you ever solve your issue? I'm trying to make mine work and the WOL wiki didn't help much. The /sys/.../wake-up-on-lan or something keeps being set as "disabled".

Have you tried using the r8168 module? It's in AUR.

Thanks for the reply,
Just tried it, still no luck, rebooting into Windows and shuting down works, rebooting into Arch and halting doesn't work.
Any other suggestions?

Re: Wake on Lan on r8169 not working

Maybe you didn't load it correctly? I have manually downloaded this driver and everything works fine with realtek 8168, but I had to gzip it and run depmod to get it working. I see that this PKGBUILD don't gzip it so try to do it manually and after that run "depmod -a".

Re: Wake on Lan on r8169 not working

I installed it from AUR, blacklisted r8169 and rebooted, after reboot i did a lsmod|grep r81 and only r8168 was loaded, do you still think i should gzip it?
Thanks.

Probably no, if your kernel loads it without problems

Was the module initially blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_net.conf? Mine got blacklisted after an update and it took a while for me to find that.

No, only r8169, which i blacklisted by hand:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/*|grep r81
blacklist r8169
