Actually I think IFACE is the same as HAL_PROP_NET_INTERFACE; saves a
fork + some IPC. Ditto for getting other properties too.

Btw, there should probably exist tools/hal-system-wol-* that looks sorta
like this (this is snipped from another script in tools/) to check
whether the caller is actually privileged to do this

#!/bin/sh
. hal-functions

hal_check_priv org.freedesktop.hal.wol.<the-action>
hal_exec_backend

and you should define these PolicyKit actions in policy/hal-wol.policy
