28.Sh NAME
29.Nm acpi_hp
30.Nd "ACPI extras driver for HP laptops"
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32To compile this driver into the kernel,
33place the following line in your
34kernel configuration file:
35.Bd -ragged -offset indent
36.Cd "device acpi_hp"
37.Ed
38.Pp
39Alternatively, to load the driver as a
40module at boot time, place the following line in
41.Xr loader.conf 5 :
42.Bd -literal -offset indent
43acpi_hp_load="YES"
44.Ed
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Nm
48driver provides support for ACPI-controlled features found on HP laptops
49that use a WMI enabled BIOS (e.g., HP Compaq 8510p and 6510p).
50.Pp
51The main purpose of this driver is to provide an interface,
52accessible via
53.Xr sysctl 8 ,
54.Xr devd 8 and
55.Xr devfs 8 ,
56through which applications can determine and change the status of
57various laptop components and BIOS settings.
58.Ss Xr devd 8 Events

275.Sh BUGS
276This driver is experimental and has only been tested on i386 on an
277HP Compaq 8510p which featured all supported wireless devices (WWAN/BT/WLAN).
278Expect undefined results when operating on different hardware.
279.Pp
280Loading the driver is slow.
281Reading from
282.Pa /dev/hpcmi
283is even slower.
284.Pp
285Additional features like HP specific sensor readings or writing BIOS
286settings are not supported.
