And I don't think such a driver (patch) will be available before 2.6.32. That means that owner of 1000h and 1005ha won't be able to use eeepc-laptop (camera, rfkill, hotkeys) without adding acpi_osi="Linux" manually in 2.6.32. I know this is not a long term solution. I would be happy to add a WMI interface as soon as I can get the hardware. -- Corentin Chary http://xf.iksaif.net -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
