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.
