I tested this again today on Ubuntu-2.6.27-3.4, and the problem remains,
and the provided patch from 20080905 still applies. It is really a tiny
tiny bug which only requires reordering of two list items. Maybe this
one was held back by my tagging the bug incorrectly? Please apply, the
original problem has had a solution since 20080713 :-)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic

The applesmc module wrongly detects the Macbook Air as a macbook, which does
not have keyboard backlights. Also, the sensor set is wrong. A patch is
attached which 

1) makes applesmc detect the macbook air

2) sets up a minimal set of sensors

The sensor set is not complete, and the accelerometer is turned off although present, but at least the keyboard backlight
is activated.

A patch against linux-next has been sent to the maintainer, but is awaiting action.
