FWIW;

I have two 7.0-RELEASE boxes with single (on board) and dual
(pro/1000) em NICs.  WOL works fine on both.

The link light must be on after FreeBSD shuts down for WOL to work.
You might try using the latest proboot.exe from Intel which allows you
to update the NIC firmware and change its settings.  There might be
FreeBSD sysctl knobs that might help as well.
