wol 0.7.1 seemed to be ignoring the option to restrict the broadcast to
a particular subnet and/or doing nothing when that option is specified,
but it turned out to be my misinterpretation of the man page:

       -h HOST
       --host=HOST
       -i HOST
       --ipaddr=HOST
           Broadcast packet to this IP address or hostname. This
           is important if your wol client is a multihomed host
           and you want to send only to one subnet (default IP
           address is 255.255.255.255).

Using the ip address of the interface (e.g. 192.168.4.1) or hostname
there *does not* appear to work.  However, sending to the subnet (?)
e.g. 192.168.4.0 does do the trick.

That is from 4.4-current (GENERIC#1037) with two ethernet interfaces.
