@@ -51,6 +51,17 @@ For the Framework 13 laptops, there are common configuration modules available u
 including some modules specific to AMD- or Intel-based laptops. By preference, there will already be a specialised
 module for your model's configuration. Otherwise, it can be added alongside the existing modules.
 
+## OS integration
+
+`hardware.framework.enableKmod` enables the [community-created Framework kernel
+module](https://github.com/DHowett/framework-laptop-kmod) which exposes EC functionality like battery charge limit,
+privacy switches, and system LEDs as standard driver interfaces. This enables, for example, configuring the charge limit
+using the KDE settings GUI. The option is enabled by default when NixOS `>= 24.05` and linux kernel version `>= 6.10`.
+
+On AMD Framework 13 and 16, before kernel 6.10, additional kernel patches are required for the kernel module to function
+properly. Manually setting `hardware.framework.enableKmod = true` will apply the patches, requiring a kernel
+recompilation.
