this is a network driver issue and not related to acpi. please resend
to freebsd-stable or freebsd-current.
don't forget to include info about your network device (brand, model,
driver used).

a well-chosen subject also enhances your chances of getting a reply, I'd
suggest something like "wake-on-lan not working with sis", if sis is
the driver you use.
