56 Embedded Controller (limited to just the Aspire 5020 and TravelMate 2490 -
57 thanks to Petr Tomasek for the TravelMate 2490 support). To test this on
58 another laptop, use "force_series=5020" or "force_series=2490" and report
59 back the results. On the 5020 (AMW0), brightness and accurate reading of
60 wireless and mail LED are supported. On the 2490 (WMID), mail LED is now
61 supported, as well as reading touchpad status. Also, it is possible to force
