If we want to do disable WoWLAN we can use the command 'iw phy phyX 
wowlan disable' command. Its true that we would 'Keep Alive'
the connection, but we would disable the wake up capability via
'set_wakeup' callback, something similar to wowlan disable command.
Please let me know if i am missing something (or) the advantage having
the connection Keep alive with wowlan enable without triggers.
thank you!
