Hi David

Hmm... I have a lot of kernel panics. I use the bmcwl5.inf and bmcwl5.sys with bmc43xx.cat. I can load it
but when I use the "ifconfig ndis0 up" it trow a panic. How are use it?

Yes, the ACPI EC troubles are constant exist. I will later test the patch from acpi-list.

I use the Windows NDIS drivers without many problems.  

I do have a problem with the ACPI EC.  It often times out resulting in battery 
and temperature not updating (and often power down doesn't work).  Syslog 
gets spammed with messages from the acpi module.  I hacked a crude patch that 
appeared to mostly fix the problems (but I don't believe it addresses the 
underlying problem).  Are you experiencing any problems with ACPI?

Never used bluetooth so can't comment.
