For reference, they can be found at:=20 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.sensors/13793 I believe the main reason these patches have not been included yet, is=20 (besides the usual lack of time) the fact that there is not yet a=20 website available. As discussed in this thread=20 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.sensors/14562 , Hans=20 suggested using the wiki pages as a first version. Even though I would prefer a dedicated website, I now do believe that=20 Hans is right, and modifying the wiki's and add DMI information to the=20 configurations there, might be a good way to get 'the ball rolling'.=20 Once it starts to get popular, we can switch to a dedicated website. I believe that making one is not too hard of a job (it's not rocket=20 science after all..) and I've already made a begin for it. However, for=20 the time being, I would rather spend my time on respinning and revising=20 the previous patches and writing an (obviously) relative easy script=20 that's able to walk through the wiki and fetch the configuration files=20 from there. If it=92s possible to add the needed information to these entries, I=92m=20 more than willing to get working on the mentioned parts For now, all I really need is the following information for the=20 configurations: * needed modules * dmi information: system-manufacturer, system-product-name,=20 system-version, baseboard-manufacturer, baseboard-product-name,=20 baseboard-version, I suppose that should do it. I don=92t really have a strong favor of how=20 this information is added, but I would suggest it to be something like: # modprobe module1 parameter1 parameter2 parameter3 # modprobe module2 # system-manufacturer PCCHIPS Etc.
