Yes, it's possible (but not very likely, given the nature of UTP) that 
something like an earth loop or such could do it.

Or (as I said before) the BIOS being set to wake on the IRQ that the card 
happens to use, and it being one of those cards that doesn't quite shut down 
(although unplugging the machine often does the trick).
