Hi Andrew,

We have some machines using Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2400 Gigabit
Ethernet Controller,
but none of them has the unintentional wake up issue.
We're willing to fix it if we encountered the issue, but before we can
do it, we need this feature is supported by the driver.

Taking the feature has been removed for 5 years into account, I doubt
if we still can reproduce this issue,
but again, to verify this issue we need to add back this feature first.
Set WoL disabled by default won't introduce any regression but give
users and developers a chance to fix it.

Best regards,
AceLan Kao.
