I have no problem with the network when I run FreeBSD 5.4. I have no 
watchdog timeouts. And I can cvsup the source and ports without any problem.

As a side not ACPI was disable when I tested if it detected the network 
card or not when I inserted it. Though since I didnt notice any diffrent 
when it was on or off I dont think it has any impact. I did do this test 
earlier before you asked but then I just didnt think it was relevant. Of 
this I know it works with ACPI on also since I was running with ACPI 
when I tried it.
