support for asus M6N(e) laptops

[Yann KLIS]

Hi all,

Just to let you know that Asus has released some new bioses that fix
that acpi problems, see:
http://m6n.ath.cx/forum/viewtopic.php?t=391&sid=59f6419b8247c4a765280c57975e7b9d

Now I can see correct battery status and I will soon test other ACPI features.
