With that "magic" L**** that I almost entirely dropped beginning of
this year in favour of FreeBSD 5 a lot of more things didn't work
up to 2.5.xx that worked out of the box with a 5.x CD :-)))

http://www.zabbadoz.net/zabbadoz-network/megablast/freebsd-testing/msi-6120n-acpi.tbz

containing
	msi-6120n-acpi.dmesg
	msi-6120n-acpi.asl
	msi-6120n-acpi.dsdt [1]
(extracted according to the instruction from acpidump manpage).
