Version 0.11.2 released 2008-03-12 (stable)
acer_acpi is a Linux kernel module to allow control of some of the hardware on later model Acer (and other Wistron OEM) laptops.
acer_acpi was originally developed by Mark Smith to enable the wireless LAN card of an Acer Aspire 5024 under 64-bit Linux. The previous solution to hardware access on these laptops, Olaf Tauber"s acerhk, relied on BIOS calls to work - unfortunately, it is not possible to call a 32-bit BIOS routine from a 64 bit operating system, so acer_acpi was born.

8th February 2008 - acer-wmi, the upstream port of acer_acpi, has now been merged into 2.6.25. acer_acpi has now been deprecated in favour of acer-wmi, and is in bug-fix mode only for pre 2.6.25 kernels.
