Had some trouble to get WOL working on a B450M Pro4 using Ubuntu 19.04. The B450M Pro4 also uses Realtek RTL8111H for LAN, just like DeskMini A300. Ubuntu 19.04 uses a more recent kernel than Debian Buster, so our situations are not exactly the same.

However your posts put me on the wrong track for a moment because output of 
ethtool -i <interface_name>
does look like you say:

driver: r8169
version:
firmware-version: rtl8168h-2_0.0.2 02/26/15


However the in-kernel driver r8169 should include most r8168 devices as well.

For my kernel (5.0.0-16-generic) at least it was not necessary to install r8168-dkms.

I just needed to make 
ethtool -s <interface_name> wol g
persistent in 
/etc/network/interfaces
.

I have wake on lan working now. Issue wasn't on motherboard/bios side.

The A300 uses a RTL8168 network chip yet kernel module r8169 was loaded.
A simple "apt-get install r8168-dkms" fixed the issue.

BTW: No leds are lighting up during poweroff on the ethernet port when wake on lan is enabled.]]> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 01:19:27 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11055&PID=61331&title=deskmini-a300-wol#61331 <![CDATA[DeskMini A300 WOL : I just build a deskmini a300 system...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11055&PID=61290&title=deskmini-a300-wol#61290 Author: xauser

I just build a deskmini a300 system and enabled wake-on-lan feature in bios version 3.2. I've installed Debian buster with kernel 4.19.0-2-amd64.
ethtool shows: "Supports Wake-on: pumbg" and "Wake-on: g".

Yet the system does not wake up if I send the magic wol packet. There are also no leds blinking on the ethernet port.

Is wake-on-lan feature broken on deskmini a300 at the moment?]]> Fri, 08 Mar 2019 14:56:08 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11055&PID=61290&title=deskmini-a300-wol#61290
