Hi everybody,
I have an Acer Aspire E1-131 laptop which has a SATA controller (AFAIK!!!) currently not recognized by any of the Intel AHCI drivers. It works with the standard SATA controller, but in order to enable SATA Link Power Management (LPM) on Windows 7, you need the Intel AHCI driver (or fiddle around in the registry/on the command line to manually enable it).
The device has the following ID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_22A3&CC_0106 and is called “Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series SATA Controller” according to this source. I took the liberty of adding the device to the drivers attached, which should enable LPM.

Please note that this is work in progress. If I find the time, I will mod the RST-Software also (but no promises).
If you have any suggestions, please do so.
