iPad USB power issues solved on Windows! Hack please?

[demonfox13x]

As some of you may know some manufacturers of motherboards such as Asus, Gigabyte and MSI have released driver updates or bios updates increasing the power in the USB hubs so iPads, iPhones and or any USB device can have more juice to charge like real macs and macbooks. What i want to know is if this can be ported to our hacks..

 

i have an asus motherboard so im especially interested in that, heres the link to the article and hopefully we can get a working solution for us..

May be something like this?

				Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
			{
				Store (Package ()
					{
						"AAPL,current-available", 1200,
						"AAPL,current-extra",  700,
						"AAPL,current-in-sleep",  1000, 
						Buffer () {0x00}
					}, Local0)
				DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
				Return (Local0)
			}

 

P.S. For EHCI USB.

Be aware that doing so you take the risk to fry both USB port electronic and connected hardware (as fried USB can suddenly output much more power thanks to idiot circuitry).

Has anyone had any luck with this? Seems to work perfectly in windows with the gigabyte fix, would love to have it working with OS X though.
