There is an issue with wake-on-lan setting if you dual boot with Windows. The Gentoo wiki has some information, read the troubleshooting section almost at the top.

This is on the money. Given that we probably won't get far trying to have Realtek change the Windows driver I guess its up to the R8169/8111 kernel driver person to find out how to turn on the card again. From reading that Gentoo link it appears Realtek themselves have done some work relating to this and Kernel 2.6.

I believe this is actually a Windows driver bug - the Realtek DOS driver (used for ghosting among other things) also doesn't successfully turn the card back on after Windows has shutdown, so the issue is really at the Realtek end of things.
