How to Activate tp_smapi in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) for Thinkpad T61

Install these packages: tp-smapi-source, hdaps, hdaps-utils

Then follow instruction in /usr/share/doc/ for tp_smapi.

Activate the module:
sudo echo "tp_smapi" >> /etc/modules
sudo echo "hdaps" >> /etc/modules
sudo update-initramfs -u

To set charging parameters:
sudo -s
echo 35 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh
echo 75 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh
