You should also be able to disable WOL via the NIC driver and/or its interface (if it has a GUI tool). I'd recommend you look up the documentation on that model and determine what command or tool you can use to change the setting.
I had a look under Yast->Network Devices but didn't see anything regarding turning off WOL. I'll Google for te model and see.

Tnx
