This project is aimed at enabling acpi functions of few Amilo Models compatible with Amilo A 1650 G under FreeBSD kernel.
Designed for
At the begining we have working kldmodule for enabling/disabling wifi-antena. I has been tested against amd64 and i386 version of FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0. It should work without problems also on PCBSD and DesktopBSD as they are built on top of FreeBSD Stable.
Releases & Plans:
| Function | Status | Release | Date |
| sysctl interface to manage wifi antena | done | 1.0 | 02.02.2008 |
| fix: proper handling of acpi_shutdown | done | 1.1 | 03.02.2008 |
| support for additional hotkeys in amilo | planed | -- | -- |
All comments, issues are welcome.
Note for Acer users: This driver could be easly adopted to Acer laptopos for which acer-acpi warks on linux. Do the following
acpidump -dt >file.txt find "pnp0c14" region and in this region Method WMxx( take thise xx and replace in source #define on top of source code from WMAB to your WMxx. In some cases thiswill be enough. In few others propably You will need to change value passed to WM which can be easly found in linux-acer acpi for Your laptop or propably in atached hotkey.sys dissasemble. I think this file is used also by acer. In case of problems post issue at this portal or email me priv message thru amilo forum below. [http://www.amilo-forum.com/topic,1453,-FreeBSD-kernel-module-for-Amilo-A1650G.html] In case of interest from people with acer hw we can expand project to cover also acer laptops.
