So if this ain't possible, I guess that accessing the information
of the WOL-packet is neither possbile ? Especially knowing whether
the computer was powered up by the network card would be
important. 
Since the magic packet generated by ether-wake includes
the hardware address of the sender it could be used to determine
whether the powerup was authorized (and then linux could log it and
power down again) or not. 
possible?
