Please test the attached patch, for example using the following steps:
0. prerequisites:
apt-get install git build-essential
1. get the kernel history if you don't already have it:
git clone \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
2. fetch point releases:
cd linux
git remote add stable \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
git fetch stable
3. configure, build, test:
git checkout stable/linux-3.2.y
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # current configuration
scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO
make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration
scripts/config --module ASUS_WMI
scripts/config --module ASUS_NB_WMI
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root
reboot
... test test test ...
Hopefully it reproduces the bug. So:
4. try the patch:
cd linux
git am -3sc /path/to/patch
make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4
dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root
reboot
... test test test ...
This will let us know if the patch works against a 3.2.y kernel.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan

Subject: asus-wmi: use ASUS_WMI_METHODID_DSTS2 as default DSTS ID.
According to responses from the BIOS team, ASUS_WMI_METHODID_DSTS2
(0x53545344) will be used as future DSTS ID. In addition, calling
asus_wmi_evaluate_method(ASUS_WMI_METHODID_DSTS2, 0, 0, NULL) returns
ASUS_WMI_UNSUPPORTED_METHOD in new ASUS laptop PCs. This patch fixes
no DSTS ID will be assigned in this case.
