The 2.6 i2c-dev bus numbers don't necessarily match i2c-adapter bus numbers. If you rmmod and re-insmod a bus driver, the driver seems to get its old i2c-dev bus number back. But the i2c-adapter number increments. Don't know why. It would be much better if they matched. Most userspace tools need the i2c-dev numbers since they are going to use /dev/i2c-x devices to access the bus. The bus numbers reported by libsensors apps are the i2c-adapter numbers. I think it has to be that way since we don't need i2c-dev and therefore can't count on it being installed. So you can't take a bus number from 'sensors' and then take that number and use it in 'i2cdump', for example. author at mordac.netroedge.com wrote: > > Update of /home/cvs/lm_sensors2/prog/dump > In directory mordac.netroedge.com:/tmp/cvs-serv14049 > > Modified Files: > i2cbusses.c > Log Message: > (mds) report i2c-dev bus numbers rather than i2c-adapter numbers, > which may be different.
