I too run Linux (Fedora Core) on a TravelMate 4001WLMi[1]. I needed to
change the DSDT since it returned the wrong values for the processor
speeds (!) which, I have been assured, is not an uncommon problem. No
other changes were necessary. In fact, I could have continued using
the unmodified DSDT except for the frequencey scaling.

For the smart battery, I use the original, EC based implementation by
Rich Townsend, and it works like a charm.

Later (AFAIK) Rich went to a DSDT-based approach of the smart battery
problem. I personally prefer the EC based version.
