Howdy list,

I know a bunch of you have IBM Thinkpads. I just bought an A30p myself.
Before I put FreeBSD on it, I have the option to download a butt-load of
updates, including a BIOS update.

Should I go for it? I heard the most recent BIOS update doesn't do much for
ACPI support under FreeBSD... but is the BIOS version I have right now
broken too?

Thanks.
