Acer Aspire 5580 with no networking

[Mak Kolybabi]

Hello,

I have been trying on and off to get FreeBSD for AMD64 installed on my laptop. I
had previously posted to FreeBSD Questions but found no help there.
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-August/156380.html).

I am trying to install -CURRENT, but am unable to get either my wired (msk) or
wireless (wpi) cards to function. I am lead to believe that this is an ACPI
issue because during a period of trying random things, I installed an i386
version of FreeBSD and turned ACPI off and managed to get msk to function.

I have attempted:
- Disabling ACPI: Can't find hard drive to mount root.
- Changing hw.acpi.osname: Diff of dmesg outputs between all osnames I used that
  were listed in the ASL showed no real differences.
- Booting with full debugging of ACPI.

I've created dumps of dmesg (for all things I tried), pciconf, and sysctl. Let
me know what information would be useful, and the best way to send it (attached,
printed inline, pastebin, etc.).

Any help would be appreciated.
