[Debian-eeepc-devel] Eee PC ACPI module

[Eric Cooper]

I happened to look at the patched asus_acpi.c module that was posted
by Asus and then updated for more recent kernels, and almost barfed.

It's 75% dead code -- the Eee PC support is just stuck on at the end.
And of course it conflicts with the real asus_acpi.ko in any Debian
kernel package.

So I cleaned it up, renamed it eeepc_acpi, and packaged it as a
separate out-of-kernel Debian package that can be built with
module-assistant.

Here's the comparison from "wc":
 1907  6180 50911 asus_acpi.c
  453  1434 13037 eeepc_acpi.c

If anyone is interested, the source module is at
    http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ecc/eeepc-acpi-source_1.0.0_all.deb
and the Debian package source is at
    http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ecc/eeepc-acpi_1.0.0.{dsc,tar.gz}

Cheers,
Eric
