required.

Couple of questions:
1.) Without the patch installed, the work around enabled the wireless with
blacklist on acer-wmi. Now that wireless is is working with the patch
installed, and the work around and blacklist is not required, does the wireless
work more effectively e.g. more stable, interface with power management better
etc?
2.) The new release Ubuntu 11.10 is due around October 13th I think, but
correct me if I'm wrong. Will this patch work with the new release? I
was looking forward to some of the new features, Mozilla's Thunderbird
email client, Deja Dup backup utility, the new 3D acceleration engine
for faster rendering and better panel and launcher performance, and of
course last but not least the new kernel 3.0.
*** That aside, thank you so much for helping me with this, I really
appreciated how you took the time to work on this with me, very cool.
If you ever need testing done please don't hesitate to email me any
time, I would be glad to help.
Oh, my CDRW/DVDRW is still a problem with acpi enabled. With the
workaround to set acpi=off I have no power management settings for the
battery etc. Will you be helping or will it be picked up by someone
else... I'm probably asking to much :)
One thing to note is that setting acpi=off does remove the '0: acer-
wireless: Wireless LAN' function and the soft hotkey does not work.
Should I note this in the acpi Bug #856253?
Thanks again for your support Seth.
Cheers,
Graham.
