Hi Mark, What's the status on the hwmon patch? I'm looking at updating bmcsensors now and Jean suggested bmcsensors should be modified to get rid of any i2c references before submitting it (since it has absolutely nothing to do with i2c), but from what I can tell this was the last message about it. I'd really like to see something like this get accepted soon. Thanks, Yani On 5/3/05, Greg KH <greg at kroah.com> wrote: > On Mon, May 02, 2005 at 11:49:28PM -0400, Mark M.
