--- Comment #38 from Jaap de Haan (jaap.dehaan@freenet.de) ---
CONFIG_ASUS_WMI=m andI confirmed the module is loaded.

I think I saw some improvements lastly in the support of temperature sensors, I
am not so sure because I have no traces of the old state and it's a long time
ago I used the UI. I flashed my BIOS recently and hoped things would be solved
with that action.

Thanks a lot Matthew for this good explanation and for the first time I
understood (at abstract level) what is going on and why it is so. This
explanation is something really valuable to be kept and put in a prominent
place like kernel Documentation and a known issues text file (then a less asus
specific explanation) IMO.

I was nearly as desperate to try to use the `acpi_enforce_resources=lax`
setting but without understanding it is for me as an engineer something "hot"
and now I really get why it is so, I will for my part keep my fingers away from
the setting and hope that someone will find out how to get the FAN values in
the normal driver.

Many thanks for the clarification.
