<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">acpiwmi</code> device driver provides an ACPI
    interface for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). The ACPI WMI
    interface is typically used to support vendor specific features found in
    various laptops.</p>
<p class="Pp">The following WMI mappings are supported:</p>

<p class="Pp">The functionality varies from vendor to vendor. Typically the
    interface is used for function and hotkey handling, but additional features
    may be present.</p>
