ccing to the list.

Basically what you need to do is to copy+paste the content of two
files into a directory, e.g. acpi:
lenovo_acpi.c and Makefile.
then in a terminal, run the following commands:
cd acpi
make
sudo cp lenovo_acpi.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/
sudo depmod

# Once installed, you can try and switch off the card with:
sudo modprobe lenovo_acpi

# Finally, if you want to switch off every time you reboot, do:
echo lenovo_acpi | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null

I hope it helps,

Cheers,

Albert.
