## About
Aspire300x is a Linux kernel module that provides backlight and other controls for Acer Aspire 3000 series laptop's.
On Windows®, functions such as get the touchpad and wireless status can be
accessed from Acer e-manager tool, that unfortunately, is not avaliable at
Linux in this model. Current features of aspire300x are:
* Control the LCD brightness from software
* Get the touchpad status (enable/disable)
* Get the wireless card status (enable/disable)
This device driver was written after a reverse engineering proccess of PC97551 embedded controller (EC), present in an old Acer Aspire 3003LCi, but its suppose to work on other models that have this EC.
