  Description     : Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (kernel patches)
    ACPI4Linux aims at integrating ACPI into the Linux kernel. ACPI
    (short for "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface") is a
    standard that defines power and configuration management
    interfaces between an operating system and the BIOS. It is meant
    to supersede the older APM standard (for power management) and
    provide a generic interface for recognition and configuration of
    hardware devices.

    This package includes the most current acpi kernel patches for the
    following release: 2.4.16, 2.4.17, 2.4.18, 2.4.19 & 2.4.20.  You
    want this package if you're looking for more up-to-date acpi than
    exists in the standard kernel tree.
