Wake-on-LAN

I need some help getting WOL working.

I have two boxes with Freebsd 6.2 and WOL doesn't work on either one.
Both have capable Intel NICs (pro/100 and pro/1000) and capable PC
BIOS (with WOL and PME enabled).  When the boxes are shutdown I don't
have any link lights, which I believe is an indication of a problem.
I'm wondering if this is an ACPI issue where the PCI bus has no power
after shutdown, or perhaps an em driver issue?  Any ideas on this?
Thanks.

S.
