Which make and model notebook is this?

You have my sympaties, my own laptop[1] (Acer Aspire 5672) have the same
sort of problem - drivers for NICs (both wired and wireless) will not
attach if acpi is enabled. And this laptop gets too hot when acpi is
disabled - I fear it will overheat. Linux runs fine[2] on it.

I had a lot of help in trying to fix the problem a wbile back (check
the freebsd-mobile mailing list archives), but in the end, nothing
helped.

 I can only offer general advice, not a solution. Try too look for
a modfified DSDT for your notebook, perhpas you will find something
that helps.
