I did a partial test with my PowerBook G4. With the patch installed, it would 
both suspend and hibernate, but WOL would be impossible. This computer uses a 
PCMCIA version of the BCM4318, and power is turned off to the PCMCIA card when 
suspended or hibernating.

If WOL works for the OP, then I think we can ACK this patch.
