Oh, and you probably did lose current_now because of 2.6.36. It comes
directly from the kernel, so not many other components have a chance to
make it go away. Battery hardware varies, so it's easy to have a battery
bug only affect specific laptops. I'd recommend testing a mainline
2.6.35 kernel (to see if it's an Ubuntu patch that provides
current_now), then bisecting to find the commit that made it go away.
If/when you do find a bad commit, you should file a new bug.

My own battery has never reported current_now. Some batteries just don't
report that data in a way that linux knows how to get it, and probably
some aren't even capable of reporting that data.
