The values are nonsens, of course, but I wanted to do first things first.

When I modprobe, a line is added to /var/log/dmesg:
w83627hf: Found W83627THF chip at 0x290
There's no message on stdout or stderr.

Using the 2.6.21.5 kernel:
0295-0296 : pnp 00:09
0295-0296 : w83627hf
Using the 2.6.23.14 kernel:
Before modprobing:
...
0295-0296 : pnp 00:09
...
After modprobing:
...
0295-0296 : w83627hf
0295-0296 : pnp 00:09
0295-0296 : w83627hf
...
