ACPI issues on Averatec 3250

I have just put 7-stable on an Averatec 3250HX laptop.  Three things
connected with ACPI do not work as they should.

1.  Suspend/Resume
    The system suspends but does not resume.
	# acpiconf -s S3
		system appears to suspend OK
		but then no keyboard action will wake it up
		need to power-off and reboot
    Relevant sysctls:
	hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S3 S4 S5
	hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5
	hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S3
	hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE
	hw.acpi.standby_state: S1
	hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3
	hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1
	hw.acpi.s4bios: 0

    I tried the patch documented here:
	http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-acpi/2005-May/001557.html
    With this, the keyboard now does re-activate the system, but the
    system cold boots rather than restarting.

2.  Thermal Zone
    The thermal zone reporting is not working.
    From the boot info:
	acpi_tz0: <Thermal Zone> on acpi0
    But sysctl info:
	hw.acpi.thermal.min_runtime: 0
	hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate: 10
	hw.acpi.thermal.user_override: 0
	hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 0.0C
	hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: -1
	hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.passive_cooling: 1
	hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.thermal_flags: 0
	hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._PSV: 90.0C
	hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._HOT: -1
	hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT: 110.0C
	hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx: -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
	hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TC1: 2
	hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TC2: 4
	hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TSP: 30

3.  Radio On/Off Button
    The WiFi Radio button does not do anything.  The wifi card comes on
    with "ifconfig ral0 up" and goes off with "ifconfig ral0 down" and
    works OK in between.  It would be nice to have the button do something.

Any thoughts on these from you ACPI experts?

The system's acpidump is here:
