the act of the actual "waking up of" is operating system independant. 
however, i think acpi might the right place to be looking, as it might be
shutting your system down differently than before.  if your ethernet
lights are not bliking even when your system is powered down, then youll
be dead in the water until those start working again.

first thing to check, is to make sure your bios didnt get reset somehow,
and turned of the WOL support.

second, did  you compile your kernel differently this time around?  try
switching to the old kernel, giving a 'shutdown -p now' and see if the
ethernet lights remain on and blinking.
