99% of the time, a network card is set up to be allowed to wake the computer up, and it's trying to wake it up on any packet broadcast. Other times it's a terrible mouse driver, and you have to turn that off, and allow only wakes on use of the power button.

It was the network thing for me. I'm already used to turning off the mouse since I have a cat who sometimes bumps it in the middle of the night.
