This is indeed great news!
I have tested the driver on my laptop, amd it works:
tingo at kg-home$ uname -a
FreeBSD kg-home.kg4.no 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #3: Fri Nov 10 23:09:04 CET 2006     root at kg-home.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AS5672  i386
tingo at kg-home$ ifconfig wpi0
wpi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.1.150.12 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 10.1.255.255

        bmiss 7 protmode CTS roaming MANUAL bintval 100


(I actually SSH'ed into the laptop to get this message)
The driver only works with acpi disabled (tha fault of the laptop, not
the driver - it is the same with the bge driver), and it spits out soem
error messages. I'll update the web page with the information.
When updated, you can find dmesg output on
http://tingox.googlepages.com/aceraspireas5672andfreebsd

Let me know if I can test anything else to help.
