Subject: WMI vs Linux
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 15:44:41 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200703281544.41842.lenb@kernel.org> (raw)

Jamey,
google stumbled across this patch:
http://www.th.ph.bham.ac.uk/staff/schofield/linux/tc1100/linux-2.6.9-tc1100-wmi.patch
with your name on it.

I was wondering if you could tell me about it.
I was just about to write a little driver that binds to PNP0C14 and tells the
user that they should not buy machines with WMI extensions and run Linux on them --
but maybe an exception to that rule already exists?

thanks,
-Len

ps. while you're at it, what is the WACF005 Wacom Digitizer device also in the patch --
I don't see that upstream either.
