the smart battery driver is one of my projects, but I don't have the time to dedicate to it, so I guess it'll be eternally delayed.
however, I can try to help on anything, either code writing and/or testing. Please note that I am an ABSOLUTE newbie as far as kernel programming is concerned. I've written a kernel module (very, very
simple) to learn about some kernel interfaces. Also I've read some ACPI and smartbattery specs, but nothing i could use today.
In just a few words, I am 100% willing to help writing/testing the smartbattery driver. I'm glad I'm not the only one needing it and that the driver can one day exist.
regards,
pedro venda.
