Subject: why is a patch still needed?
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 00:44:49 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200403230044.49403.justin-psi@affinix.com> (raw)

Hi,

I've been watching this project for nearly two years, and I'm surprised that 
patches are still offered on your website.  I thought by now ACPI would be a 
standard part of Linux, at least in 2.6.  Interestingly enough, the vanilla 
kernel does have ACPI support.  How is this different from your code?

I've seen many kernel extension websites eventually say something like "no 
more separate downloads necessary, just get the latest kernel", but yours 
does not yet say that.  Is this on the agenda?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. :)

-Justin
