X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, Is there a way I could uniquely identify a Motherboard Model. I don't need the serial number, just the model. Applications for this could be: 1) Create a table to map Motherboard Model to lmsensors calibration settings. All motherboards seem to use different resistors, so the calibration needs to be adjusted for each motherboard model. 2) Sound card in/out wiring. 3) Any other wiring on the motherboard that one needs to know, but cannot identify through other means. It might be useful for the kernel to provide this as a service so that driver modules can use it to make choices. Kind Regards James
