The correct way to do enable WOL is to add the following to 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:

ETHTOOL_OPTS="wol g"

Once this is in place, WOL should work after a normal shutdown, with no 
initscript modifications.  If you have to hit the power button because ACPI bugs 
are preventing soft power off, it probably won't work either way, and you should 
file a bug report.
