It's odd, because acer-wmi driver in 2.6.37rc7 only auto-probe when the
it detected the following wmi GUIDs:
86 MODULE_ALIAS("wmi:67C3371D-95A3-4C37-BB61-DD47B491DAAB");
87 MODULE_ALIAS("wmi:6AF4F258-B401-42fd-BE91-3D4AC2D7C0D3");
It's not make sense acer-wmi probe on Ideapad S12 netbook, could you
please help to attached the following information?
- modinfo acer-wmi > acer-wmi.log
- dmesg > dmesg.log
better attached:
- dmidecode > dmidecode.log
- acpidump > acpidump.dat
Thank's a lot!
