Here is my case with Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi with the latest bios 2.40 It shares the same mobo with 3100, and 5110 FreeBSD 6.1 CD1 wasn't able to boot at all. I used FreeBSD 6.2-RC1, then I was able to boot. booting with acpi disabled crash and reboot the laptop. So I went ahead, installed the 6.2-RC1, then I upgraded the OS via the csup to RELENG6, now it runs FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE. The laptop has AMD Turion x2 64, but I used i386, since the laptop only has 1.5 GB of ram. I was able to install x11+KDE via packages. Here are the issues I face with it now. 1. I can't boot with acpi disabled, it crashes all the time. 2. I can't use my WLAN which is broadcom, I was forced to use an older drivers, since ndis has problem with reading the latest driver from broadcom. Here are the files http://bb.wearab.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=472&d=1166427326 http://bb.wearab.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=473&d=1166427326 And here is the 78 MB full package for the driver in zip file ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_3100_5100_5110/driver/802bg_broadcom_v4.10.40.0.zip Could someone convert the 2 files to a kernel module? please let me know. 4. Bluetooth doesn't work. 5. RealTek chip High Definition Audio System isn't detected, and doesn't work for sure. 6. The laptop doesn't shutdown or restart, it says disk sync .. then it displays the uptime, and stays there, I have to press the power button to switch it off. Suggestions or hints are welcome.
