Re: [issue1356] Xircom cardbus NIC (dc0) not working in 2.2.1

[Tim Darby <t+dfbsd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ACPI is the culprit.  I've always had success using this card with
ACPI enabled, including under 2.0, so it didn't even occur to me to
disable it.  So something between 2.0 and 2.2 broke it, FYI.  Thanks!
