My Tyan K8W S2885 works fine with its onboard Broadcom.  Will's
problems appear caused by ACPI problems, which is a property of the
particular BIOS the motherboard interacting with whatever bugs exist
in FreeBSD's ACPI interpreter.  Your Tyan probably works as-is.

Will might check the MSI website for BIOS updates, and perhaps the
FreeBSD repository to see if there have been any ACPI fixes installed
since RC2.
