I'm not sure what the board is, but probably Intel? Its in a compaq deskpro and the lan chipset is intel 82558. Mandriva assigns an eepro 100 driver to it. The funny thing is, it works well enough to do a Mandriva network install - which is just as well, since no CD in it. And I have three of these I'm trying to get working reliably!
It's funny but Intel Pro 100 cards have generally given me the least bother over the years (that's what you have embedded if Mandrake is assigning the eepro driver).
I think as other posters have said it looks like it is getting put into a funny half asleep state on a soft power down.
Perhaps it's worth playing with the options to disable ACPI in your bootloader it wouldn't surprise me to hear that ACPI is sending some power down command to the card on shutdown when it is expecting to stay awake for WoL.
Also it's probably worth making sure you have the latest Bios release.
I assume you have looked to see if there any bios configuration settings to do with WoL, ACPI etc ? I know the compaq bios tends to be a bit dumbed down so there may be no relevant options for you to tweak.
