I've got a squeezebox 3 (firmware v72) wirelessly connected to a router
and on to a pc in my garage.  The garage pc connects wirelessly to the
router too, via a client bridge (Buffalo WBR-G54 running DD-WRT). 
Everything works fine, except for Wake On Lan. I'd really like to get
this going, so here's the reason it's not:

A bit of packet sniffing with ethereal shows that the SB is sending its
magic packet to the MAC of the bridge rather than the MAC of the pc. 
WOL is fully enabled on the pc, and I can wake it up using  my wireless
laptop and a magic packet generator pointing at the correct MAC.  

I can't see a way to tell the SB to use the correct MAC, as it seems to
work it out from traffic.  Interestingly, windows gets the MAC correct
if you do a "nbtstat -a <garage>", but SB is getting it wrong.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?  I'm sooo close to getting
my system working!
