Takeru Komoriya is working on porting the changes from our CVS repository to Linux 2.6. Temperature sensor types setting is already done [1], reset is in good shape but need some rework, and we'll work on the Guardian thing right after that. With a bit of luck, we should equal the level of functionality of the CVS driver as soon as in Linux 2.6.4. > Anyway; thanks for such an awesome project Thanks :) [1] http://delvare.nerim.net/i2c/linux-2.6/linux-2.6.2-rc2-i2c-it87-sensor-type.diff -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
