I guess you don't know the device name? SMSC seems to be often doing custom chips for other hardware vendors, that might be the case here. > Also no smbus controller was found.

Absolutely. Try Rudolf Marek's script to unhide it: prog/hotplug/unhide_ICH_SMBus in the lm-sensors package. It there's anything interesting on the SMBus, we can add your laptop to the list in drivers/pci/quirks.c. Please keep in mind though that the SMBus may be disabled for a reason, maybe the ACPI or SMM code is using it and doesn't want the OS to mess up. -- Jean Delvare
