Subject: WMI module autoloading (for hp-wmi, dell-wmi, tc1100-wmi)
Hi
I believe you had a patch to add support for auto-loading of wmi
modules. But it stalled because it also added a userspace interface to
WMI in sysfs, which didn't fit very well.
So at the moment, only acer-wmi is autoloaded, because it has a DMI
autoload hack. hp-wmi, dell-wmi, and tc1100-wmi are out of luck, even
though a second DMI hack was proposed for dell-wmi.
Would it be possible to add the auto-load support on it's own? Is it
just a matter of someone taking the time to cherry-pick the auto-loading
bits from the original patch, and test the result?
Thanks
Alan
