[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#571703: acpi-support: Check for Asus laptop fails in asus-wireless.sh

[Jakub Adam]

Subject: acpi-support: Check for Asus laptop fails in asus-wireless.sh
Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.132-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi,

on some (older?) Asus laptops, DMI table manufacturer string contains "ASUSTeK Computer Inc.", so the newly introduced 
check fails. Code in /etc/acpi/asus-wireless.sh should be changed to something like

if [ -x /usr/sbin/dmidecode ]; then
	VENDOR=`dmidecode -s system-manufacturer`

	# On some systems, DMI tables contain manufacturer string
	# with trailing space characters. Strip them here.
	VENDOR=`echo $VENDOR | sed 's/ *^//g'`

	test "$VENDOR" = "Asus" \
		|| test "$VENDOR" = "ASUSTeK Computer Inc." \
		|| exit 0
fi

Observed on Asus A3AC.

Best regards

Jakub Adam
