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

.
