Well, mAh, but yes. Clearly it's possible to add extra attributes, but speccing standard attributes that don't entirely cover the most common non-embedded battery class seems less than ideal. Why not just require capacity_units and rate_units attributes? -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
