Dude named Unknownforce

he says it so formally like its nothing... said its a recompile of the 5/18/10 zimage with some .c something LOL... read up

I find things like this to give a good spark to the scene!

only problem is that you lose wifi, but it does work pretty good.

From what I found already, this fix will be included in the next distro. Don't know about the WiFi.

If anyone can find no2chem... (The developer of the "updated" battery drivers for the TP2) He was going to release a source for his battery drivers, but never did... And basically disappeared from the PPC world...

If I could get the source for the battery drivers and get the exact calculations that are used in them... I could easily port them into the code and get it working as it should.

But as it is right now, I'm stuck with attempting to learn ARM ASM and doing a disassemble of the dll file... which has proven to be much harder than I anticipated going into it...

From what I got from no2chem before he disapeared, he is up to his neck in schooling working on I believe his Phd. So he is out with a good reason. Hopefully he does pop back up sometime soon here.

Its not broken. It worked for me.

And to the OP, we are hoping it will be included in the next commit so all the new kernels will have it

I also cannot register for PPC Geeks - the registration form keeps saying that I entered the verification text incorrectly.

Maybe it's not too far from getting an actual battery fix soon....
