Hmm, didn't you compile this one as a module? No SMBus for you without it (but
maybe you don't care.)

OK, I get it. The chip is on the secondary Super I/O address. The w83627hf
driver only checks the primary address. Same as ticket #1780.

There are Super-I/O developments in progress in 2.6. Once they are done, we
should be able to link the w82627hf driver there and get support for the
secondary address for free.

For 2.4, we should probably hack the driver directly. I don't have such a
chip, so it won't be me. We welcome patches :)

Thanks for reporting.
