The issue seems to be heavily NIC hardware specific. As it does not  
hurt (I guess), setting NETDOWN=no on all networked machines might be  
a good idea.

The issue got reported to me by one of our admin staff guys (Marcel).  
I will re-test / confirm the issue around WOL on the same site (where  
he figured out the above) myself.
