All you need to do is ensure that in the Device(ANW0) there isn't any Windows-specific logic going on. That way the device gets fully defined, and will be inserted into the ioreg. Using superhai's kext, you should be able to (a) hard-code the behavior you want, or (b) create a GUI like the Launch Manager for OSX that uses one of several methods for communicating with an in-kernel object (kext).
If superhai's AMW0 is based off IOKIT, you can use the device interface (see here: http://gemma.apple.com/documentation...00380-BAJDAJDJ).
I can try to help, but since I don't have access to an Acer now, I'm afraid I can't be of much use. If pentiumpc had released source, you could see what s/he had done, since the ASUS "ASUS010" or "ATKD" devices might be similar to Acer's AMW0 in that they are all likely based off of Microsft's WMI interface.
The best guideline will be Carlos's work on acer_acpi in the Linux world. Good luck! |
I will study the document. It will take sometime to understand it. 
Meanwhile I did try to change the AMW0.kext source code according to the Name/Method exist on my dsdt.dsl. Even though after that there are new entry for AMW0 in ioreg, the hotkey buttons still not operational.
AMW0.kext still need a lot of work to be done. Maybe I can learn more from ACPI4ASUS.kext source code.
Can you give me any tip on how to locate which Name/Method in dsdt.dsl that handle the operation of the hotkey buttons? I tried to compare my dsdt with MacBook3,1 dsdt but still can't figure it out yet. Am I right if I said that this function tell the wireless device to turn ON at POST?
Code:
Method (LAMN, 1, NotSerialized)
{
If (\_SB.AMW0.WLMP)
{
Store (Arg0, \_SB.AMW0.WLID)
Notify (\_SB.AMW0, 0xB0)
}
Else
{
PHSR (0x1F, Arg0)
}
}
