Thanks.

This is unrelated.

'acquiring device failed' means the device is not responding to
even the most basic access to registers that should always be
accessible.

It's as if communication on the PCI bus has been cut for some
reason, of as if the device had lost power and is turned off.

The wifi driver is assuming to run with working hardware and a
working PCI bus. If those do not work then there is a fundamental
issue that the driver cannot fix.
