    Subject[PATCH] DMI patch for broken Dell laptop
    Hi Marcelo, Linus,

    This adds DMI recognition for anohter broken Dell laptop BIOS (BIOS
    version A12 on the Insiron 2500).

    Patch against 2.4.19-pre2, but applies also to 2.5.6 (with offset).

    Reported by Mihnea-Costin Grigore <mgc8@totalnet.ro>.
