latest DSDT from Andre Messerschmidt
	http://www.isis.de/members/~messersch/asus-m6800n.html
solved the AC status: now it's recognized correctly and 'GNOME Battery Applet'
shows correctly if I'm AC or battery and when I plug in/out the AC adapter.

You're right, here the situation for ACPI support on my M6842NWH:
- - battery > works with Andre's DSDT
- - AC > works with Andre's DSDT
- - thermal > works
- - processor > still 'invalid PBLK length (7)' message, only C1 with original or
              Andre's DSDT, C1 & C2 with Bruno Ducrot's _CST patches

- - hotkeys > works with 'acpi4asus' 0.27+CVS
- - fan > module loaded, but no entries in /proc/acpi/fan/, anyway the fan starts
        automatically when required
- - with APIC I can't clearly shutdown
    http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3854100&forum_id=6102
- - 'os_wait_semaphore' problem still unsolved
- - I haven't tried yet sleep states

BTW, I upgraded to BIOS 0206A from http://fsai.fh-trier.de/~gielj/M6800N/

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
