No. The wm has many wakeup functions other than above:

        Wake on Link status change.
        Wake on ARP request.
        Some other special functions (I don't know the detail yet...)

The FreeBSD's code says that age, ale, gsip, ste, stge, txp, re and vge
have some capabilities of IFCAP_WOL_MCAST, IFCAP_UCAST and IFCAP_WOL_MAGIC.
