Ethtool does provide an if-up script to restore settings (including WOL), so you don't need to create your own.
Also some NIC modules default to WOL=on, and others provide an option for that.

We don't want epoptes-client to set hardware settings though, as (1) not
all cards support ethtool and (2) instability problems have been
reported in other forums about enabling WOL on certain cards.

So, marking as invalid on epoptes, sysadmins that needs to enable WOL
can use the ethtool if-up scripts, check its documentation for details.

Title:
  Enable wake on LAN for epoptes

Status in Epoptes:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Wake on LAN in Ubuntu requires two things:

  1) Activation in BIOS

  2) Activation in the network adapter's software. This is usually done
  with the command sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g, however Ubuntu doesn't
  retain the setting.

  We need a script to make the WoL activation permanent.

  
  ----------
  I am preparing the script to enable WOL in ubuntu, but I dont know how to combine it with epoptes, maybe embedding it in the installation of the client?
