Hi Jean When I develop the 792 driver for linux-2.6, I use the method you told me below, It works well. But I have one question here: Before the linux-2.6 kernel which contains 792 driver released, if someone wants to use 792 driver for linux-2.6, but he do NOT want to compile his 2.6 kernel, because he's not familiar with it. Do you have some easier method for users? For example, user only need to compile the 792 module instead of the whole kernel, then load the bus driver and this 792 driver, the 792 can work. Just like the lm_sensors for linux-2.4 Thanks Best Regards Chunhao > -----Original Message----- > From: Jean Delvare [mailto:khali at linux-fr.org] > Sent: 2005??2??4?? 19:55 > To: PI14 HUANG0 > Cc: PI10 LHHsu; PI14 DZSHEN; LM Sensors > Subject: RE: We will port w83792d.c to linux-2.6 > > > Hi Chunhao, > > > Provided that I have successfully ported w83792d.c from linux-2.4 to 2.6, > > How should I add it into the linux kernel tree linux-2.6.10 for test? > > I have tried the following steps: > > (1)Add a file w83792d.c into the directory > > /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/drivers/i2c/chips/ > > Correct. > > > (2) modify /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/drivers/i2c/chips/Makefile (add 792 part) > > Correct again. > > > (3) modify /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/.config (add 792 part) > > Not correct.
