Re: [lm-sensors] Where to download drivers?

[Madhu <madhu.chinakonda@gmail.com>]

Hi Zafar,

   Looks like 2.6.16 does not have the drivers for these modules. I see
the "coretemp" is added from 2.6.22 and "i5k_amb" is added from 2.6.24
but not sure about "ipmisensors", http://bmcsensors-26.sourceforge.net

   So please try with the latest kernel and the sensors-detect. 

Regards,
Madhu.
