		may be present, e.g. 00:11:22:-:44 will match 00:11:22:33:44 and
		00:11:22:33:ff:44 etc.
		Offset and pattern should be separated by '+', e.g. 18+43:34:00:12 will match '43:34:00:12' after 18 bytes of offset in Rx packet.

		The TCP configuration file contains:
		  source=ip[:port]
		  dest=ip:port@mac
		  data=
		  data.interval=seconds
		  [wake=]
		  [data.seq=len,offset[,start]]
		  [data.tok=len,offset,]

		 iw phy0 wowlan enable net-detect interval 5000 delay 30 freqs 2412 2422 matches ssid foo ssid bar


Commands that use the netdev ('dev') can also be given the
'wdev' instead to identify the device.

You can omit the 'phy' or 'dev' if the identification is unique,
e.g. "iw wlan0 info" or "iw phy0 info". (Don't when scripting.)
