Install "ethtool". The package has some ifupdown hooks besides the tool itself.
In your interfaces file, add "ethernet-wol g" or similar to your interface
options. See the ethtool manpage for the possible parameters to the "wol"
option, "g" is for reacting to the standard WoL magic packet.

After an ifdown/ifup, run "ethtool <iface>" as root, you should see something 
like this in the output:
    Supports Wake-on: pumbg
    Wake-on: g


HTH,
Lehel
