F10 WOL doesn't work with suspend

WOL works when I halt the system, but not suspend.

I used "ethtool -s eth0 wol g" to enable WOL on the NIC. After halting
the system, the link light on the NIC stays on and I can wake it up
with WOL from a different system.

When I suspends the system, the link light on the NIC goes off and I
can't wake the system up with WOL. (It will wake up if I touch the
mouse or the keyboard.)

I did some seach online and some people mentioned I need to put the
network module on the "MODULES_WHITELIST" at /etc/default/acpi-support
so suspend wouldn't unload the NIC driver. But there is no
/etc/default/acpi-support on my system (Fedora 10).

How do I enable WOL for suspend?
