Hello,
this is just a short upfate about my adventures with the acer Aspire
AS5672 laptop and FreeBSD.
I upgraded the laptop to FreeBSD 6.2-stable. No big changes, the
network drivers (bge0 and wpi0) only attach with acpi disabled, as
before. 

This makes this laptop almost unusable with FreeBSD - acpi is
needed to get enough cooling for the machine.
