#### This is no 'official' version, I just copied the version found at https://gitorious.org/sony-laptop-zseries and changed it to compile with kernel 3.6.2 (by copy/pasting other changes). I have no idea what I did and if this really works, but it seems to be ok for me. Hope you will find this useful, Rene  ####
