[Bug 248635] Re: acer_wmi is not used by default (on Fujitsu Siemens Amilo A1650G)

[Carlos Corbacho]

To clarify a bit:

1) There was originally a plan to add some generic WMI based autoloading
to the kernel. The patches to do this (which I have floating about
somewhere) where dependent on other driver core changes that have not
yet made it in (still), unless I can come up with an alternative
solution.

2) Loading of acer-wmi is currently done by DMI matching - look at the
MODULE_ALIAS line. This is only set for Acer laptops, as I'm not sure
yet about trying to autoload the driver on lots of non Acer hardware.
