IMHO, too much info packed in here, making reading difficult.

What if there was a single line added, right after status for instance:

The line mentions all wol options available, and shows the event triggering the
wake-up between brackets. Or between <> (whatever). Or even in upper case:

wol: MAGIC unicast link
