I loaded the asus_atk0110 module into the kernel :

$ lsmod |grep atk
asus_atk0110           10131  0

However the interface is still using the coretemp linux module, so the 
pwm config says me :

/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

I guess the only way to have my fancontrol working properly is to 
enforce the old way with the kernel command line.

How do you plan to fix the situation in future releases ?
