Laptop battery critically low


Clearly something is wrong as the battery is fully charged !

RTL8192SU integrated into linux kernel 2.6.38

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/58371/focus=58455

I mean the PCIe devices. I plan to submit that driver in time to make the 2.6.38
merge. Realtek has not yet sent me the code for the USB devices, but as the chip
and core code is common, it should not be far behind.

Hopefully rtl8192se will also make it into:

vim spell check of XML files

This is something I always forget:

:setlocal spell spelllang=fr
