I'm not sure if this is the best fix or not. But without this change, "ethtool -s wlan0 wol u" would return "Cannot set new wake-on-lan settings: Operation not supported". Yes, you have to disable it first in order to change the WoL parameters.

Without the reformatting, the change would be like this:

+	if (wol->wolopts == 0)    criteria |= EHS_REMOVE_WAKEUP;

But the "checkpatch.pl" script gave me an error on that:
"ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line"
