It is system-dependent. I haven't messed with it on portable computers
(which tend to have more system-specific config), but on desktops, there
is usually a BIOS screen for what type of events can wake the system
(PS/2 keyboard, USB device, LAN, alarm, etc.).
For a USB keyboard, I have to enable the USB device option in the BIOS,
and then I have to set Linux to leave the right USB controller enabled
when the system goes to sleep. I have to figure out which USB
controller is needed and add a line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local to echo the
right one into /proc/acpi/wakeup (e.g. "echo USB3 > /proc/acpi/wakeup").
On a system that I for some reason kept plugging and unplugging the
keyboard (and ending up with it in different USB ports), I used the
following bit of shell code:
########################################################################
# Set USB keyboards to allow wakeup
for dev in $(grep -l '^01$' /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/bInterfaceProtocol); do
dir=$(cd $(echo "$dev" | sed 's!/[^/]*$!!'); pwd -P)
pci=$(echo $dir | cut -d/ -f5)
for pdev in $(grep "disabled *pci:$pci" /proc/acpi/wakeup | cut -d' '
-f1); do
echo "$pdev" > /proc/acpi/wakeup
done
done

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
