Subject: r8169 Wake on Lan

Hi there:

I have a HP ENVY laptop with this RealTek, and my laptop don't have a
BIOS option to disable WOL. I'm currently using a script on start and
shutdown to disable WOL, but could you guys make a module param to
enable/disable WOL?

This freaking WOL eats a lot of battery on my laptop and my scripts
don't work when I'm using a hibernation or booting a Linux ISO per
example. I don't know really if many HP laptops have this RealTek, but
a lot of HP laptops have this annoying problem (just see on Google hp
WOL battery drain). Seems like HP is only giving a bios option to
enterprise, and for users let a OS dependent option (Windows will
disable on boot).

Thank you very much dudes ;)
