1. The bug history contains a few dozens anwers + questions from hps, Konstantin 
Belousov, & mm, showing they're trying hard to fix it.
2. hps kindly offered to ship a machine to him which has this bug, so that he can 
investigate; _this_was_denied_.
3. The wizzards can only fix what they can debug appropiately; their work is mostly 
completely voluntary; in contrast, other OS incl. Linux have hundredth of engineers on 
their payroll.  AFAIK there's only one manufacturer who certifies it's mainboards for 
FreeBSD (supermicro).
4. It is a well known fact that most, if not all, ACPI BIOS/UEFI implementations are buggy, 
and/or the official specs are ambiguous about some topics.  Furthermore, the on-chip 
USB hub can be buggy.
5. Noone can assert a claim that FreeBSD runs on his/her particular hardware & network 
combination.
6. Everyone is invited to get a bloody nose & dive into C system programming & DTrace, in 
order to help integrating new hardware drivers, tweaks, & bug fixes.
