Gads ... A twin pair of nice, custom, Fedora 8 desktop boxes for me and my lady, an scsi ultra 160 based postfix box, a klunker 700 Mhz IPCop/Copfilter box, a good test box with dual 1000 Mhz P3's and onboard U160 support, and an ancient IBM PS/2 77S box with a couple of scsi external full height drives that acts as a file server of sorts. I refuse to get rid of the PS/2. I actually started with an old XT dual soft floppy box but I grew up on the PS/2. All boxes are generic self-builts except the PS/2. I guess all that counts as six. I just junked a worn out/burned out HP Pav. 6736 that used to be the firewall box. There are also several running P2 & P3 klunkers in the closet. I recently gifted out a couple more.

The acpiwmi device driver appeared in NetBSD 6.0. AUTHORS
Jukka Ruohonen <jruohonen@iki.fi> wrote acpiwmi and most of the mappings. CAVEATS
While WMI should provide a certain degree of portability across laptop models from a particular vendor, there is no guarantee that the map- pings are functional in all models. The wmihp driver may conflict with hpqlb(4). BSD
