Chris, You might look at Freebsd 6. They have done alot of work on ACPI and also wireless. They wanted 6 to have excellent wireless support. WPA supplicant is included by default. I think FreeBSD tends to be a little easier on desktops and laptops than OpenBSD. FreeBSD 6 is still in beta but's had several RC's (5 or 6) so far, and is quite stable.
