Title:
  Support for Macbook Air in applesmc

Status in Mactel Support:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in Debian GNU/Linux:
  Fix Released

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.
