Subject: ACPI_WMI: worst config description of all times
Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 22:47:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080207214715.GA15211@elf.ucw.cz> (raw)



See? It even has completely useless help text.

Does WMI stand for Windows Management Instrumentation? It is some
server management feature? What is it good for?

								Pavel

  WMI (EXPERIMENTAL) (ACPI_WMI) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) ?

This driver adds support for the ACPI-WMI mapper device (PNP0C14)
found on some systems.

NOTE: You will need another driver or userspace application on top of
this to actually use anything defined in the ACPI-WMI mapper.
