Use the last script from here, but note that in Karmic, the correct path is:
/sys/class/usbmon/usbmon*/device/usb*/*
Install HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver
sudo cp /etc/modules /etc/modules_backup sudo aptitude install tp-smapi-source sudo module-assistant prepare tp-smapi sudo module-assistant auto-install tp-smapi sudo modprobe tp-smapi sudo aptitude install hdapsd echo 'tp-smapi' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
Tested: Non-functioning
- None tested yet
