For example, Rudolf Marek just posted a patch adding support for the IT8726F: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-May/019767.html It should be fairly easy to review. Of course I'll end up doing it if nobody picks it shortly, but it's probably a good one to get started. > I have these three machines: > > A.

ID 0xea doesn't sound like an ITE chip at all, more like National Semiconductor. The earlier versions of sensors-detect might have been confusing in that respect, please check again with a recent version. The adm1021 driver is still using macro-generated functions instead of dynamic callbacks, and doesn't implement individual alarm files. So these are two things you could work on if you feel like it. > C. White box P3: piix4 + as99127f rev 2. This one is my wife's so the access > is more limited.

Basically my problem is that I can't get the driver to bind to my device. I am able to "talk" to the device using minicom so I know the serial port and the device work OK. But I don't know how to write a kernel driver which will bind to the serial port and let me read and write "raw" characters from and to it. I tried copying random examples from other serial drivers but my .connect() method never gets called. LDD3 unfortunately doesn't cover legacy serial drivers. Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
