I have something like that on my Acer laptop (Aspire 5672). Network drivers (wpi and bge) fails to attach unless I disable acpi. Unfortunately, acpi is necessary for other important things (thermal control, cpu speed control) so running without it is not an option. I have troed a lot of things to fix this (suggested by other people), but no luck so far. I think it is due to a bug in bios / acpi.
