FreeBSD X.Y.net 9.0-STABLE FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE #0: Fri Jan 20 20:52:52 CET 2012     root at X.Y.net:/usr/obj/data/usr/src/sys/COMMON-AMD64  amd64
>Description:
The acpi_ibm kernel module does not include the ID used by newer Lenovo Laptops (basically, "IBM0086" was replaced by "LEN0086"). Adding the new string to the ibm_ids struct in acpi_ibm.c allows the driver to attach and work properly. Tested during daily use on a ThinkPad W520 running 9.0-stable AMD64 since Nov 2011.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try "kldload ibm_acpi" on e.g. a Lenovo ThinkPad W520, the driver will not recognize the ACPI ID.
>Fix:
