It has:
wol, wol_ucast, wol_mcast, wol_magic
Enable Wake On Lan (WOL) support, if available. WOL is a facil-
ity whereby a machine in a low power state may be woken in
response to a received packet. There are three types of packets
that may wake a system: ucast (directed solely to the machine's
mac address), mcast (directed to a broadcast or multicast
address), or magic (unicast or multicast frames with a ``magic
contents''). Not all devices support WOL, those that do indicate
the mechanisms they support in their capabilities. wol is a syn-
onym for enabling all available WOL mechanisms. To disable WOL
use -wol.
