…so that I will get actual ACPI?
I played around with my laptop this morning, after I got back from dropping Anne off at work (she took her car in for service today).
I installed the HostAP driver for my wireless card, as opposed to the orinoco driver that I’d been using–it *almost* works, but I think the problems may not actually be driver problems–as well as an updated ALSA driver, which has shut up a cosmetic message.
I compiled a kernel with ACPI, which is supposed to be the great APM-killer/cure for bad BIOS’. Unfortunately the ACPI tables seem to give the ACPI code indigestion, so it doesn’t actually enable itself properly.
That’s probably why the PCMCIA slots on my laptop don’t work, while those on the docking station do. Oh, well, at least the ALSA and HostAP stuff look OK. More as I know more.
