Patch #2: (acer-wmi) - No Change For review, and (rather tentatively here) 2.6.25 material? Patch #3: (tc1100-wmi) - No Change RFC only, needs actual testing on the hardware, and probably very broken. Waiting on Matthew Garrett to get some free time to test this. Patch #4: (WMI sysfs interface) - No Change RFC only (see patch #5 for reason). Adds interface under /sys/devices/virtual/wmi Patch #5: (WMI sysfs workaround) - No change Temporary hack, needed to get patch #4 working, due to a limitation on bus_id length (Kay Sievers is apparently working on this, ref Greg KH[1]). This should _NOT_ be applied to any upstream kernel. -Carlos [1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/4/30
