They are part of lm_sensors, and as such, make it very hard for us to maintain. I have encouraged the lm_sensors crew to get at LEAST the adapters/algorithms submitted for general inclusion. Once that is in, I will make cobalt_i2c go away. Tim -- Tim Hockin Systems Software Engineer Sun Microsystems, Cobalt Server Appliances thockin@sun.com
