It was in fact very fun to find out new commands, and I found interesting stuff. However, I have a quick question: what does "wireless button" control exactly ? Because my laptop (SwSmi@ one), seems to have a totally different command to control rfkill (both for bluetooth and wlan). My guess is that command do the same thing that happens when you press the Fn+F12 key, but if it's really that I'd prefer use the "true" rfkill interface with differencied control for bluetooth and wlan. I have found other interesting information including: - you can pass up to 11 byte of data for each command (but I didn't found any command using more than 6) - there is a way to find the model name and bios version near the signature - wlan and bluetooth control - USB charge control - Keyboard backlight control - Battery life extender control I'll try to clean that up and send some patches in one week or two. -- Corentin Chary http://xf.iksaif.net -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
