OK, I didn't know that. So they probably do match.

I don't know whether wol(1) depends on that order or not, but I can
still reproduce the problem: running tcpdump while running wol on the
host I restarted today shows the magic packet (UDP to broadcast address,
port 40k); on the other host tcpdump doesn't show it. And I bet it
would be shown if I restarted the system...
