SYNOPSIS
acpiwmi* at acpi?
acpiwmibus* at acpiwmi?
wmidell* at acpiwmibus?
wmieeepc* at acpiwmibus?
wmihp* at acpiwmibus?
wmimsi* at acpiwmibus?
DESCRIPTION
The acpiwmi device driver provides an ACPI interface for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). The ACPI WMI interface is typically used
to support vendor specific features found in various laptops.
The following WMI mappings are supported:
wmidell Dell laptops
wmieeepc Some models of Asus Eee PC
wmihp Hewlett-Packard laptops
wmimsi MSI laptops
The functionality varies from vendor to vendor. Typically the interface is used for function and hotkey handling, but additional features
may be present.

HISTORY
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).

Count the number of desktops and servers you have running at home, including your home office if you have one.
Don't count those that are in storage or you rarely use, count the ones that are powered on most, if not all, of the day (and night). (86 Replies)
