It´s still an issue unfortunately

m...@xerxes:/boot$ sudo modprobe -v  applesmc
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-15-generic/updates/dkms/applesmc.ko 
FATAL: Error inserting applesmc 
(/lib/modules/2.6.31-15-generic/updates/dkms/applesmc.ko): No such device

I'm no kernel developer (or any kind of developer for the fact) but my theory 
is that when i boot in efi mode 
the hardware is presented somehow differently in my laptop, than when I'm 
booting my macbook pro in compatibility mode (where the module actually  loads)

Hence the module cant be matched to my running  hardware configuration
in efi mode.

I believe that no kernel update will solve this since applesmc is a dkms module 
meaning it doesn't come with regular new releases of  the kernel but as a 
separate package compiled against the runnig kernel. My dkms sources are still 
the same version as before
.
Maybe we to get in contact with the maintainer of this module?
