Configuring Wake-on-Lan over Wi-Fi for the Asus GR8 II

They said it couldn't be done.  Setting up Wake-On-Lan over Wi-Fi.  They were wrong.

A few weeks ago I've tried setting up Wake-On-Lan on my Asus X99 based Windows 10 machine.  I tweaked the Wi-Fi driver, Windows and the BIOS but I just couldn't get it to work.  When I got my new Asus GR8 II with Ubuntu 17.10 installed I figured I give it a try. 

Fortunately, I found this great guide.  It made it look really easy.  It was.  It only took three commands!

$ iw phy0 wowlan show
WoWLAN is disabled.

$ sudo iw phy0 wowlan enable magic-packet disconnect
$ iw phy0 wowlan show
WoWLAN is enabled:
 * wake up on disconnect
 * wake up on magic packet

BTW, APM configuration was the default: ErP set to Enable(S5).
