#17 no force_discharge etc at t42p with 2 batteries

[vizzy]

hi folks, at first, thanks for the software.
unfortunately it seems my thinkpad t42p does not support some of these important options to use hotswappable ultrabay batteries and system battery together.
i installed debian lenny 5.0.2 on my tp, installed tp_amapi as shipped with the debian repository, but my tp seems not to support these options.
i downloaded latest sourcepackage tp_amapi 0.40 from sf, compiled and installed (after removing old deb package and unloading old module) and loaded the new module. but my t42p still does not have force_discharge, charge start/stop threshold and inherit times.

what information do you need to support these functions on a t42p? if you tell me, i will try to find out everything you need :) if <you tell me how to find out :)
thank you.
