Darren told me that. I tried to answer this question in the cover letter: "These are barebone laptops, sold under quite a lot of brands and configurations, with different firmwares and so on. I can only say for sure that this issue is present for all the models sold under a specific brand, that's why I'm reluctant to enable this by default with a DMI check." In my case for instance, the DMI info has not been filled in by the retailler since I only have the ODM base board information to identify a model. > -- > With Best Regards, > Andy Shevchenko For now, I will prepare a new version containing the other needed changes you pointed at for the other patches. Thanks for your time, -- Guillaume Douézan-Grard
