47 * Added initial support for accessing extra devices/ information through the
48 Embedded Controller (limited to just the Aspire 5020 and TravelMate 2490 -
49 thanks to Petr Tomasek for the TravelMate 2490 support). To test this on
50 another laptop, use "force_series=5020" or "force_series=2490" and report
51 back the results. On the 5020 (AMW0), brightness and accurate reading of
52 wireless and mail LED are supported. On the 2490 (WMID), mail LED is now
53 supported, as well as reading touchpad status. Also, it is possible to force
54 the fan on with both laptops by setting the temperature through ACPI.
