Version: 0.5.0-4
Followup-For: Bug #466058

I am facing the same probelem on my Asus M6N. But it doesn't alwaysshow
the same sometimes the battery status is 45% sometimes it's 0% (no
matter if pluged in or just unplugged). Here is my output of

Do you think this is a bug in the Kernel?

Thanks Frank
