(i just tried some > ways, i thought it could work) Drivers have to be ported in order to work under Linux 2.6.x. They don't work out-of-the-box, far from that, so no surprise you did not succeed. BTW, if you are interested in sensors, you should consider upgrading to 2.6.1-rc1 or later, since -rc1 contains a huge number of fixes of all sorts. Also, you will need lm_sensors CVS for w83l785ts support, and lm_sensors CVS has a change that breaks support of 2.6.0 (long story, but this is needed). > so it would be nice, if you would tell me, how i can compile it for > kernel 2.6.0 as module (if it works with 2.6.0 also) Two choices: 1* Read Documentation/i2c/porting-clients as found in linux 2.6.1-rc1 and later, and port the driver yourself. That's not very complex if you can follow a guide, especially since the w83l785ts.c driver is really simple (and read-only for now). Feedback about the guide is welcome. Questions are welcome too. 2* Wait for me to have some time to do it. The problem here is that the waiting time is undetermined. Could be ready tomorrow, or in two weeks, or never if I forget about it. And I'm busy these days (who isn't?). Good luck :) -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
