Which Firmwares support WAN-to-LAN UDP Broadcast for WOL?

I've tried with OpenWRT for so long and can't get the Wake-on-Lan (WOL) magic packet to be broadcasted to entire subnet. The packet goes through the firewall when I specify my Computer's IP, but when I use subnet broadcast IP - nothing happens. I think OpenWRT does Not support WAN-to-LAN broadcast for security purposes.

Btw, I remember using WOL(subnet broadcast) on this same router about 2 years ago. Back then it worked perfectly fine, I just don't remember the firmware I was using back then.

Does anyone know of a firmware that supports WAN-to-LAN broadcast? With so many people using Linksys routers, there is got to be one person here who is using Wake-on-lan on his/her linksys router. Which firmware are you using?

It works with DD-WRT and I presume Tomato. Of course I added custom rules to the start-up script which I'm guessing one would need to do with OpenWRT as well.

okay, so I found out that I need to add following commands to the startup scripts

ip neigh change 192.168.0.254 lladdr ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff nud permanent dev br0
ip neigh add 192.168.0.254 lladdr ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff nud permanent dev br0

Now the problem is that my OpenWrt version kamikaze does Not recgonize this command...it says something like "ip not found". So how do I run this command from telnet?
