Just a few precisations:

1) this bug applies to Feisty CD 5 too
2) this bug applies to some non-Acer laptops too (I need acer_acpi to get wireless working on my Fujitsu Siemens A1650G)
3) upgrading from Edgy to Feisty, I had trouble recompiling the module, because the "make" command didn't work no more, so I had to give the following commands:

make clean
make acer_acpi.ko
cp -v acer_acpi.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-12-generic/extra/
mkdir cd /lib/modules/2.6.20-12-generic/extra
cp -v acer_acpi.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-12-generic/extra/
depmod -a
modprobe acer_acpi
