Shame the FreeBSD 'genet' driver has no ACPI support.. I, too, hope to be able to switch back over to FreeBSD if/when its Raspberry Pi support improves. I do acknowledge, though, that FreeBSD developers have historically seen it as not a priority for developer time and resources due to the "closed" nature of its documentation making it difficult to work on. I respect that stance.
