NetBSD-5 on Acer Aspire One

[Martijn van Buul <pino%dohd.org@localhost>]

Hi there,

I tried installing NetBSD-5 on my netbook last night, an Acer Aspire One,
and not all is well. Even though I didn't have any problems at all during
installation, once I booted off the (external) harddisk, I'm having problems
with either my network adapter, or my keyboard. I get to choose; if I disable
ACPI, my ethernet adapter will work just fine but my keyboard won't, if I
enable ACPI my keyboard will work, but my ethernet won't. The peculiar thing
is that *both* worked at the same time during installation. In both cases, the
wireless ethernet adapter won't attach - it might need the same treatment as
the Asus EEE. This is the model with an 8GB SSD and originally 512MB RAM 
(upgraded to 1.5GB since)

Dmesg for the interested:

(with ACPI)
