Comment(by jcardona):

 I agree that waking up on broadcast is not the solution.  But this was
 reported as a bug and so I provided instructions on how to configure the
 wireless module to wake up on broadcast traffic if needed.

 Task Group V of the 802.11 working group is trying to come up with a
 standard wake-on-wlan mechanism, but nothing has been standardized yet.
 The existing implementations of wake-on-wlan are based on pattern matching
 of incoming traffic (e.g. the host passes its IP address to the wireless
 card, who will only wake up on arp packets for that specific IP).
