I get FATAL: Error inserting acer_wmi (/lib/modules/2.6.25-2-686/kernel/drivers/misc/acer-wmi.ko): No such device. I tried that again and the same fatal error. I can do as you suggest and manually insert the acer_wmi into the /etc/modules file.
BTW, in dmesg, the acer_wmi module is mentioned with the message that it cannot be loaded because there is no interface. ?????????? This is not my machine so I can't verify anything at the moment but if you'd like more info I'll post it in a few minutes.
