> What's the current situation with DMI support on FreeBSD?
Basically, there is none. I spent some time looking at it, and finally
concluded that there wasn't much to be gained (for me) from it, and moved
on. From a functional standpoint DMI doesn't actually offer us very
much; ACPI is a closer match to our needs.
> Is that still accurate? Do we have any plans to add more support?
There are no active plans, no.

It'd be a good project to cut your teeth on, especially integrating the
DMI information into a backend suitable for use with an SNMP server.
