OT: Asus L3C BIOS update

OT: Asus L3C BIOS update

[Nils Faerber]

Hi all!
Sorry for offtopic posting but I thought since some Asus ACPI developers
are on this list this might be of interest.
There is a new BIOS for Asus L3C notebooks available directly from Asus
Taiwan:

	ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/nb/L3/L3C/BIOS_L3C0119a.zip

As you might already have guessed it is V1.19a now (earlier version was
V1.18a). I am going to test this right after writing this mail... :)

also nothing new about ACPI, so at least no change to the worse ;)

Unfortunately, I've experienced this at least once for the new BIOS.
