I have found some articles on google, try http://www.cpqlinux.com/acpi-howto.html

yeah :D
I send you my DSDT.aml table as you ask me in your second mail.

Set in /boot/loader.conf
[...]
acpi_dsdt_load="YES"  # DSDT Overriding
acpi_dsdt_type="acpi_dsdt" # Don't change this
acpi_dsdt_name="/boot/DSDT.aml"
[...]

and in /etc/rc.conf
[...]
pccard_enable="YES"
apm_enable="NO"
[...]

the kernel config is in that uri you send. With these setting I run an Atheros
wifi card.

I have found the best configuration with the 5.2 RELEASE, I don't tried
the 5.2.1, only the CURRENT.
