Do you think it's portable > to run under NetWare? I don't know NetWare but I'll risk an opinion (since your mail has been unanswered so far). LM Sensors is huge. I don't think it is hardly bound to the kernel though (hardware is hardware after all), but LM Sensors requires a quite complete I2C layer to work, which I suppose you don't have available on NetWare and would then need to be rewritten. This is obviously a quite important effort and I would reconsider twice before going on. Also, please remember that if you use our code as a base, you are required to release your code as GPL as well. Just wondering, Novell NetWare is a network layer to me, not an OS...? What sense does it make to port hardware device drivers to a network layer? This just confuses me. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
