Answering my own question, I fixed the problem on my U160 by abusing
/etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf. I replaced:
install wl /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wl $CMDLINE_OPTS
with:
softdep wl pre: acer_wmi
install wl /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wl $CMDLINE_OPTS && rflist
unblock all
install acer_wmi /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install acer_wmi $CMDLINE_OPTS &&
/sbin/modprobe -r acer_wmi
