Hello

To which address it sends the Hello packet? To the first learned neighbor?
What you see in logs if you enable 'debug all' for OSPF? What is shown by
'show ospf neighbors'?

Note that BIRD expect that you specify neighbors in 'neighbors' section
for NBMA or PTMP modes, but it would learn neighbors from received Hello
packets.

There were people reporting problems in FreeBSD 11 due to API change,
but that would affect also broadcast mode:
