I'm not quite sure, if I missunderstand you, or you missunderstand WOL.
If you enable wol on a network adapter, it only wakes up, if you send the 
'magic' paket to this adapter. It does not wake up, if you send any paket to 
that device!

I don't see the issue with that thing? :-)
What do you think is the problem?

take care, have fun
