Although they the same name and same GUID, both interfaces are very different. Alienware x15's WMAX method doesn't support any of the methods listed on alienware-wmi driver and the de-compiled MOF file on [1] which is an open source alternative to AWCC, makes me think this might be the case for various other newer models (G, M, X Series). Still I could implement it as a quirk of newer models. Would this be ok? My only worry was that it could make alienware-wmi's logic overly complex and cumbersome, as it would support two very different interfaces with the same GUID.
