DMI or probably IBM ssid values. Presumably IBM have somewhere they look for this information ? Making the driver only load on a DMI match or with an option "force=1" which tells people to submit the DMI data would rapidly fill a table if IBM can't answer the general question. At the very least it should check for an ibm laptop first. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
