Hi Chunhao, > When I develop the 792 driver for linux-2.6, I use the method you told > me below, It works well.

Just like the > lm_sensors for linux-2.4 Really easy: 1* Create a Makefile where the w83792d.c file is, with one line: obj-m := w83792d.o 2* Type: make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=$PWD modules (replace /usr/src/linux with the path to the Linux sources tree) And you're done :) You only need to copy w83792d.ko to /lib/modules/`uname -a`/kernel/drivers/i2c/chips before you modprobe it. Alternatively you can do insmod ./w83792d.ko without installing it, I think it works. -- Jean Delvare
