I'm not sure to what extent you're kidding, but I've seen similar occurrences going as far back as Windows XP. At fault is generally Wake-On LAN, which can be disabled through your Ethernet adapter's driver settings.
Who or what manages to broadcast wake-up packets with the right MAC address is beyond me, but disabling WOL on the card tends to stop these mysterious reanimations.
