I was so happy getting the thing to work, that I thought of not doing any further investigations. But, as you seem to be concerned, I took my laptop and started testing. Based on my non-scientific approach, it seems that the access point (ADSL-modem w/ WLAN) is the one to blame! So, I'd say that there is no need dig further on SB3's bridging implementation. As I had windump already installed, I used it on two machines, other being on the LAN and the other on WLAN. On ADSL modem I had two IP addresses with static ARP, the other with the real one and the other with MAC broadcast. Then I changed several times the IP address where the modem should forward the WOL-packet coming from dslreports.com. Not a single packet appeared on the WLAN with the real MAC address, but when I changed the address to the broadcast MAC, they were nicely printed out on the screen of the laptop on WLAN. All packets of course were received by the PC on LAN. I will make a note for the tech guys at ADSL modem manufacturer.
