Whenever that red light in ON in the front, the system is in 'stand by'
mode. If you setup WOL before entering standby mode (by using linux
poweroff command, pressing the power button, etc.), you can wake it up:
On ps3
# ethtool -s eth0 wol g
# shutdown -h now
by remote host (eth1 is connected to the subnet which PS3 resides in)
# etherwake -i eth1 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
I plan to send out a how-to to the ceb-oss-dev ML in the next day or so.
