OK I once told TeCheng that I have also some backport which can be found here: http://www.assembler.cz/download/w83792d/ If you did backport the driver please consider applying the http://www.assembler.cz/download/w83792d/04-fix-disabled-subclients For sure, and optionally the: http://www.assembler.cz/download/w83792d/03-cleanups (or check what is really wrong) Plus dont forget your recent fixes. > My question is that should we send this patch to you?

I can put it to that website as another version of the driver and link this page from lm-sensors if you want. My backport is without your recent fixes so I will fix it someday too... I hope this helps, If anything more let me know. Regards Rudolf
