Which FreeBSD version are you running? I know for sure that CL-PD6729 (I have
29 on my laptop) was not supported on -current at the beginning of this year.
Infact, I wrote a little patch to enable it, but I was having lot of problems
at reboot times (after shutdown -r): it basically works, but the kernel paniced
on each even reboot (odd ones were fine).

I really don't know what caused that, as I'm not able to understand FreeBSD
internals at that level. Anyway, I'm running with the patch since January on
-current, and I had no problems but the shutdown -r one. I don't know if this
is still applicable (I *never* reboot my laptop, it just sleeps for days or
weeks in hibernate mode :-)
