You might have success putting 'NETDOWN=no' into the file
/etc/default/halt (if it doesn't exist, just create it). I have read
somewhere that it should make sure that the NIC isn't powered off on
shutdown and /etc/init.d/halt appears to use this value. But it didn't
help in my case. Wake on LAN only works after Windows has been booted.
