Len,
Is your current work on wmi.c going to be released soon (in whatever state it
might be), or would it be better for me to just write my own implementation
from scratch?
(I would still like to get some form of acer_acpi included upstream if
possible, so am dependant on wmi.c being produced first).
-Carlos

Hi Carlos,
I plan to get back to this when i return from the kernel summit.
Do you have other acer-specific functions which are not related to WMI?
cheers,

We currently poke about a bit at registers on the EC to read (and sometimes
write) a few values which are not available through WMI (but only on a
handful of laptops, where someone has actually gathered the data on and
passed back to me).
On older laptops, this is so we can control the brightness and read 'real'
values for the state of the wireless, bluetooth and Mail LED. On newer
laptops, this is the only way to control the Mail LED at all (but this is all
as a compliment to the functionality exposed through WMI - I have no
intention of producing a generic 'acer-laptop' driver to control all the
non-WMI laptops as well).

Are you planning to get back to this still in the next few weeks?
