I seems like most (if not all) distributions are treating it more like a
suggestion.

In http://code.google.com/p/aceracpi/wiki/SupportedHardware in the
Unsupported Acer Aspire section

"One series - But the WMI implementation on this laptop doesn't actually
do anything"

I don't see how both statements can be true simultaneously.  Because it
quite literally doesn't do anything--straight from the words of the
developer himself--and ends up breaking wireless, it makes sense to
blacklist it on all Aspire One models.
