Subject: drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c: Support for another Lenovo Ideapad S205
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 03:01:49 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F600A1D.5060002@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I am an unhappy owner of Lenovo Ideapad S205 and the drivers in the
current development kernel (2f1c2b8) soft-blocks its Wi-Fi. S205 loads
two kernel modules - ideapad-laptop.c and acer-wmi.c. The rfkill is
controlled by acer-wmi.c and there is already a support for S205:
{
.callback = dmi_matched,
.ident = "Lenovo Ideapad S205",
.matches = {
DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "LENOVO"),
DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "10382LG"),
},
.driver_data = &quirk_lenovo_ideapad_s205,
},
Unfortunately, my netbook has a different DMI_PRODUCT_NAME - "Brazos"
instead of "10382LG" and there are at least eighteen possibilities [1].
I spent some time Googling, comparing Smolt profiles, reading S205
Hardware Maintenance Manual [2] and analysing the BIOS updates. It
seems, that all S205 are based on AMD platform called "Inagua" (E300,
E350, E450), use two types of Wi-Fi cards (RaLink RT3090 and AR9285),
various combination of SO DIMMs (2 x 1GB, 1 x 2GB, 2 x 2GB), different
sizes of hardrives and different keyboard layouts; so overall there are
pretty much the same.
There is a rare netbook called Lenovo Ideapad S205s ("s" at the end),
but this one is based on Intel's processors [3].
My proposal is very simple:
{
.callback = dmi_matched,
.ident = "Lenovo Ideapad S205",
.matches = {
DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "LENOVO"),
- DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "10382LG"),
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION, "Ideapad S205"),
},
.driver_data = &quirk_lenovo_ideapad_s205,
},
It works. We are not able to test all product names and if the checking
of DMI_PRODUCT_NAME is really required, it should be done in an
additional step. The current situation is pretty bad - problems with
UEFI booting (the only possibility)[4], impossibility to switch the
power off, failing brightness control - and without a functional network
connection for a start, it is better to throw it out of the window.
