Get the update driver from sf.net/projects/e1000.  5.2.20 is the current
version.  There have been some WoL bug fixes since 4.4.12.

Use "ethtool -s eth<X> wol d" to disable wakeup on this interface.
Looks like the EEPROM for this LOM is programmed to enable WoL on
power-up.  Verify with ethtool eth<x>.
