This is what I did for almost 18 months, but unfortunately what happened was that any changes I made to make it fit into the FreeBSD model better were rejected by PAO, even good changes. :( This is just one of the many reasons I don't do laptop support on FreeBSD anymore (but only one of them). And, based on recent feedback I've had with PAO members, it seems that the same sort of behavior would happen again due to the difficulties in communicating and design methodologies.
