I have this set up with a Flirc device. It listens for IR remote control keys and converts to ~keyboard keys. So the PC wakes up for the same reason a keyboard would wake it up. I can also control the PC that way, for watching movies and such. That's the main reason to do it actually, the waking up is just a bonus.
