Dear Juerg, I am running Gutsy on an Optiplex 745 (Kernel 2.6.22-14, Intel Q965 chipset) and in order to quiet my always spinning fan, I wanted to add the dme1737 module to my old kernel. So, I did what you suggested (copy dmel1713.c + create Makefile). When I type "make" it says: "make: Nothing to be done for `all'." BTW: You mention to have "the kernel headers intalled to be able to compile". Are you referring to "Kconfig" and "Makefile" in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14/drivers/hwmon? (which I updated according to http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9431996f55f8a3c04cdcb63895cf7661e135fadb Thanks for your patience!!

Since it had been included in kernel 2.6.23 and I am running 2.6.18 (from > debian etch) I was wondering if there is a stand alone version of the module, that I could > compile for my kernel? Is there any way to use it with 2.6.18? Copy the file dme1737.c from the 2.6.23 kernel to a temp directory and create a Makefile in the same directory that contains the following lines: obj-m := dme1737.o all: make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$(PWD) modules Then run 'make' which will compile the module. You also need to have the kernel headers installed to be able to compile. Additionally, you will also need the latest 'lm-sensors' package (2.10.4 ) or the dme1737 will not be recognized. Let me know if you need additional help. ...juerg
