Well, the switch does not sense carrier on the corresponding port while
the laptop is suspended, so I'm pretty sure nothing gets delivered over
that link. No, I suspect the ACPI suspend method turns off the RTL8208
PHY chip, maybe as a side effect...

But I don't need working WoL on this system - look, this is cheap old
stuff that the previous owner considered electronic waste. I even
suspect this was because wired network never worked well after resume.
With your fix, this piece can still serve some purpose.

Thank you!
