When I consulted Anas about WMI, he recommended that Linux expose WMI via CIMOM. I think that this means we'd need to invent a sysfs interface for this acpi->wmi driver to expose the hooks to a user-space daemon, which would then make sense of it in Linux's management framework.
Anas provided the references below. thanks, -Len http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/OMC This is a Novell project with many providers dealing will many aspects of the OS. They also provide RPMs for OpenSUSE and is the main source for the OpenWBEM CIMOM binaries for SUSE. http://sblim.wiki.sourceforge.net/ Is the IBM project dealing with instrumentation and home of the SFCB CIMOM targeting embedded environments and only supports CMPI providers. http://sblim.wiki.sourceforge.net/ProviderCmpiSysfs is a sysfs provider. Seems to be old but is a good example. http://openpegasus.org/ This is the home of the OpenPeagsus CIMOM, supported by multiple vendors. http://www.dmtf.org/standards/wbem/ is about the WBEM protocol. Also the tutorial is good: http://www.wbemsolutions.com/tutorials/CIM/wbem.html http://cimple.org/ tries to make writing providers easy. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
