Yes, probably.

Hmm, I should have tried that earlier. Well, now is as good a time as
anytime. :-)

The good news: disabling axpi makes the bge interface attach, and the
laptop still boots (I'm too used to "modern" laptops that fails
booting if acpi is disabled I guess):
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5789 Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x4201> mem 0xc8300000-0xc830ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci4
miibus0: <MII bus> on bge0
bge0: Ethernet address: 00:16:36:54:a9:ae
bge0: link state changed to UP

The bad news: bge still doesn't work, neither with DHCP or manual ip config. It shows as active, but doesn't want to do anything (pinging an ip address for example).
New dmesg (with ACPI disabled) attached.

On another note, I "fixed" my acpi so that the dmesg output don't have any acpi error messages anymore, but bge still fails to attach. Read the story and find evidence here: http://home.no.net/tingo/log2/pivot/entry.php?id=32
So I guess I'll have to dig at this some more.
