If I would be able do this, I would have done it! On the other side: Why
should I do it, if there is a module, which works just fine?

But you could send me patches which I could test.

It's a MSI CR620 notebook. I don't think, that there are just very few
out there :-).

Why did you remove a working module if you can't ensure, that the
replacement will cover the old module 100%?

I never saw it working with the ums_eneub6250 module. 2.6.38 used the
keucr module, 2.6.39 and upper the broken ums_eneub6250.

You could send me an URL which git repository to use in order to looking
for the changes, which have been done. It would be nice, if you could
tell me a starting point!

Kind regards,
Andreas
