Unix is generally case-sensitive. I see ascii > text in .../wakeup. Maybe some bios vendor is crazy enough to have > wakeup devices called 'wake', 'Wake', 'wAke', 'waKe', 'wakE'? Of course, when you cat/proc/acpi/wakeup, you get "wake", but when you want to enable or disable wakeup of the device "wake", you can echo "wAke" > /proc/acpi/wakeup or echo "wake" > /proc/acpi/wakeup Don't you think it is reasonable?
