[iPAQ] h3600_apm_get_power_status: unable to access battery information

I finally have a working Linux iPaq using a serial connection and I am
pleased, EXCEPT....

When I try to connect using hyperterminal, I am continually bombarded with
the following message:

h3600_apm_get_power_status: unable to access battery information

I have installed the following:

        2.4.17 kernel
        apmd_3.0final-1-fam2_arm.ipk
        h3600-utils_0.4-fam2_arm.ipk
        familiar-postinst_0.3_arm.ipk

        and qpe 1.4.0-1 (
                qpe-light-and-power_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-pics_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk,
                qpe-qcop_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-addressbook_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-qipkg_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-appearance_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-rotation_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-base_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-settings-rotation_1.3.1-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-batteryapplet_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-settings_1.3.1-4_arm.ipk
                qpe-calculator_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-sounds_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-clockapplet_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-spreadsheet_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-datebook_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-sysinfo_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-handwriting_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-taskbar_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-i18n-en_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qt-embedded-rotation_2.3.2-1_arm.ipk
                qpe-keyboard_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk
                qt-embedded_2.3.2-12_arm.ipk )

Things looked great until I attempted to install the
        qpe-batteryapplet_1.4.0-1_arm.ipk

following this, the message began appearing.

I've read that this is because I am missing some modules or ipkgs.
That's all well and good, but...

        WHICH MODULES / IPKGS AM I MISSING??????

Please help.
