According to my pci postcard this is not the case.
I modified nv_suspend to wiggle port 0x80 with mdelay(100) between
0xa0/0x50 wiggles and mdelay(1000) before returning, so it is easily
countable.
nv_suspend is called only once per ethernet port (step 3 above).
I have not yet tried adding a suspend_late handler.

I reconfirmed this.  Without the promiscous mode bugfix,
wake-on-lan (partially) works.  With the promiscous mode bugfix the
machine doesn't wake up.  This is also easily explainable by 6) not
happening. :)

For what values of 'recent'?
I'm running 2.6.26-rc2 here. :)
How do I hook into this callback?
(suspend_late maybe? Going to try that one next...)
