So, big thanks for everything.

Now aspire one linux support is very close to perfect,
(only problem left is that wireless is limited to 18Mbits/s raw rate,
but at some point I or developers of ath5k will get to the bottom of
this)

I also noticed, that now the SD only card reader is always enabled
regardless of card been there while booting, and same happens in
windows, I suspect that this is permanent hardware change, which worries
me, but this reader works fine otherwise.
(This is another reason why binary bioses are evil, go and find out why
it enables it)


Also forgot to mention that both readers ignore write protect tab on SD
card, and I will report this to correct mailing list soon.
Everything else works fine

please include acpiphp fix in 2.6.28.

Which one is this?



acpiphp: Identify more removable slots

According to section 6.3.6 of the ACPI spec, the presence of an _RMV
method that evaluates to 1 is sufficient to indicate that a slot is
removable without needing an eject method. This patch refactors the
ejectable slot detection code a little in order to flag these slots as
ejectable and register them. Acpihp therefore binds to the expresscard
slot on my HP test machine.

Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@xxxxxxxxxx>


this makes acpiphp handle hotplug of (now one, sd reader is somehow
always present) card reader.

This is
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jbarnes/pci-2.6.git;a=commit;h=db9fe9a7230d65916c9938c4f91c75f9c5e00cb7
in the PCI tree.

It's scheduled for 2.6.29 and may be included into 2.6.28 -stable, but please
remember to notify the stable team as soon as this patch gets merged into the
mainline.

Thanks,
Rafael
