I don't have a similar setup to reproduce, you need to do some
investigation yourself.

How do you watch for the magic packet to be on the wire?

Can you post a "strace -s99 -tt" log of your command?

Does "ether-wake -i bond0 ..." work (i.e. is packet sent over
non-VLAN bonded interface)?
Does it work on eth0 and eth1 (it should, but worth verifying
just in case)?

What kernel do you have?

Note that networking/ether-wake.c has some debugging code -
see "#ifdef DEBUG" lines in it. You can recompile it
so that it is much more talkative.
