Unfortunately I'm still waiting for my Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe to return from the Asus repair center as it broke down. Notice that beside my driver WIP, there also is one written by Jordan Crouse I just noticed when looking it up in my archive that he hasn't send it to the list yet, so I've attached it here. Both drivers need quite some work before being acceptable for mainline inclusion. The one done by my students is incomplete, and the one done by Jordan Crouse (attached) needs to have atleast the following issues fixed: * remote vcc and vcpp are not valid input names, please see Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface for valid sysfs attr names. * You're handling of the alarms is wrong, now a days we have one alarm file per inpuit, again see: Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface * Don't call a driver adt74xx even if it will support multiple chips, it may very well never support all chips matching the xx mask, so instead just call it after the first support chips, other documentation like the wiki-page and sensors-detect will show to use this driver for releated chips. > This motherboard has two sensor chips: an ITE IT8716F and the ADT7475. > I suspect that the IT8716 is used as a monitor (read only) for fan > speeds, temperatures, and voltages, while the ADT7475 is actually > controlling the fan speeds.
