Yep. WOL sends 1 packet over re0 as it should. Using the crossover cable, it appears that re0 only sends a packet if the recipient ethernet port is somehow active. (i.e. though the machine is 'off' there is an light glowing on the port) So I think the problem may be with the mode in which the target computer is shutdown. If the target port is 'glowing' then WOL works as expected, so does tcpdump for re0: it appears to be mostly a problem with the how the other system is turned off and not the package WOL or OpenBSD. -Lars
