I have alike problem with my Acre TravelMate. On ACPI enable,
PCI-Express bridges losing their resources allocation making device
beyond them inaccessible. Linux able to reallocate that resources, while
FreeBSD does not. I am personally now using patch found on some list
which does it in a dirty hack fashion especially for my system.
