i'm sorry, could you clear that up?

from what i read in the acpi specification, the EC host bridges the 
communications between the smart battery subsystems and itself, so i 
thought it should be enough to communicate with the EC host.

anyway, i still can't get information from the _EC object (i'm sorry if 
it isn't an object. i haven't read the whole specification) so i can't 
get the information from the HID either.

what do you mean "a new driver for the SMBus host"? ducrot's driver is 
an smbus driver for the ec host...

i'm sorry for all the questions, but one has to learn/ask who knows.

regards,
pedro venda.
