[PATCH 0/3] acer-wmi patches for 2.6.30 (take 2)

[Carlos Corbacho]

Len,

The following are the patches that really are for 2.6.30-rc0 for acer-wmi.

The first one is quite a nasty one, as it appears the Aspire One's
non-functional ACPI-WMI interface is now causing problems for userspace.

[PATCH 1/3] acer-wmi: Blacklist Acer Aspire One

[Carlos Corbacho]

The Aspire One's ACPI-WMI interface is a placeholder that does nothing,
and the invalid results that we get from it are now causing userspace
problems as acer-wmi always returns that the rfkill is enabled (i.e. the
radio is off, when it isn't). As it's hardware controlled, acer-wmi
isn't needed on the Aspire One either.

Thanks to Andy Whitcroft at Canonical for tracking down Ubuntu's userspace
issues to this.

[PATCH 0/3] acer-wmi patches for 2.6.30

[Carlos Corbacho]

Len,

The following are the patches for 2.6.29-rc5 for acer-wmi.

The first one is quite a nasty one, as it appears the Aspire One's
non-functional ACPI-WMI interface is now causing problems for userspace.
