you can work with me. I didn't realize (or forgot) you were working on a driver. Coincidentally, Margit (email above) is also working on a driver and is preparing to submit it to us. Would you two please get together and compare drivers and either combine them or decide which one is best, (and conforming to our guidelines in doc/developers/new-drivers) then let me know and I can get that one checked in. thanks mds Philip Pokorny wrote: > > I've respun my lm85/adm1027/adt7463 driver for the 2.7.0 release. > > We've been using it here at Penguin Computing on the Intel S845WD1-E > motherboard for several months.
