...Okay, this _does_ explain, or at least confirm, some pretty strange things
that happened with the dozen or so boxes I've 'played' with those last few months.

I'm going to have to look more closely on the "WOL after clean shutdown / WOL
after power cut" thing too...

On average though, I'm going to have to estimate how many boxes would have these
problems and if those boxes would still be able to be reachable by other means.
 If a small enough number of boxes have WOL problems (~10%) I'll still go that
way.  If I can make it so no box miss more than a week of WPKG runs due to
reachability problems, I'll consider myself happy.

Thank you all!
