 I think we should keep it open for the time being, since it's a bug that
 NetBSD doesn't work on this model, and it may be evidence of a deficiency
 in our ACPI implementation somewhere. Presumably Windows works ok.
 
 Is there any other information that you think would be useful to someone
 that wanted to fix this?
 
 Thanks.
