hail, I'm running 7.1R (tried 8.0-CURRENT also) on a via mini itx (dmesg bellow) and if I load acpi module, I have no lan. it appears, I can set IP, even the led would blink when I ping. but no signal of bits on the other pc whatsoever. tcpdump sees nothing in both endpoints. if acpi is not loaded, vr0 works as it should. i really think acpi would help this box, on power purposes, so here I am asking. thanks, matheus ps: should I mail acpi@ with, or instead ? $ dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2009 The FreeBSD Project.
