Why do default BSD kernels typically disable PNP BIOS support?
Just wondering... A lot of older computers, especially 2006-2009 vintage laptops, in my experience have problems with things like ACPI and wireless unless PNP BIOS support is enabled. Compiliing a new kernel is less of a big deal on BSD than on Linux, but still, this seems a bit odd.
Can anyone tell me what the reasoning is?
