I am getting this in dmesg: WMI SMBIOS userspace interface not supported(0), try upgrading to a newer BIOS
–
–
Was wanting to know if WMI has some performance benefit (or otherwise) that makes upgrading the bios worthwhile, or if it’s just for setting keys.
–
If so, could somebody outline the steps necessary to do this on a Dell 1737 Studio? And if not, that is good news:)

Okay, looks like the compile for 4.15 went just fine. No errors in dmesg, and no noticeable changes (didn’t expect any).

Went ahead and tried patching 4.17rc but no go there:) Figured that would be the case. “Make” is treating warning as errors. I thought about doing a “make -i” to force errors through, but ultimately don’t think that may be such a hot idea. Since there doesn’t seem to be an issue one way or the other, I reckon i’ll just let it go. Marking Solved.ohh
Great,glad it was helpful.
