Flag indicating whether wake-on-LAN is enabled on this virtual Ethernet adapter.
MAC address. May be unset if Ethernet.Info.mac-type is MANUAL and has not been specified, or if Ethernet.Info.mac-type is GENERATED and the virtual machine has never been powered on since the Ethernet adapter was created.
Address of the virtual Ethernet adapter on the PCI bus. If the PCI address is invalid, the server will change it when the VM is started or as the device is hot added. May be unset if the virtual machine has never been powered on since the adapter was created.
