I do not believe this is correct.  Wake on Link is trigger by the
low-level ethernet hardware heartbeat pulse.  This is well below the IP
level - in fact, its controlled by the lower level of ethernet at the
physical layer. Mac Address and IP address have nothing to do with
this.  Absence of the pulse triggers an ACPI sleep state - restoration
of the pulse triggers the ACPI resume (wake) state.
