I haven't been able to get ACPI to work, so I leave it disabled, but this isn't a big deal for me. You will need the sk ethernet device set in the kernel config, as well as some other things. You will have to go with 5.3-RELEASE to support your hardware. If you decide to install it, let me know and I'll send my kernel config file, device.hints and loader.conf. - jt
