Try: http://sandcat.nl/~stijn/freebsd/dell.php 

It's a patch for the DSDT. Only problem I seem to have on my 8200 (I'm
on now and always) is the battery reads 118% when it's on AC.

Other then that all the hardware seems to work well. The touchpad
sometimes likes to wigout and go crazy for a few moments but returns to
normal a secon later.
