Would that make sense ? If there's hope to ever write a driver for this, yes it makes sense. If not, we're probably better off just claiming that the device has no monitoring features. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
