The 2.4 kernel support of lm_sensors is essentially in maintenance mode. We hardly have the resources to deal with all the drivers that need to be merged in Linux 2.6, things can only get worse if we also keep adding new drivers to lm_sensors for Linux 2.4. So, unless you can find someone trustworthy willing to review your driver publicly, it's probably not going to be integrated in lm_sensors anytime soon. The only part I am willing to review and apply is the update to sensors-detect, so that at least people with these chips know that they have them. I'll apply this part as soon as we are done with releasing lm_sensors 2.10.2. > PS: I'm attaching the copy of the linux 2.4 MAX6655, MAX6656 > lm-sensors 2.1x chip driver [2] anyway, so one may probably find and > use it if needed. > > [1] http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-January/018635.html > [2] some keywords for search engines I added an entry for the MAX6655 and MAX6656 chips to our "Devices" wiki page, with a link to your previous post. That's about all I can do, sorry. -- Jean Delvare
