Same is true of every hardware monitoring in every system. If the user doesn't care about the limits, why should you care for him/her? The standard way of proceeding would be to provide libsensors configuration files for your network adapters, and users who care about proper sensor labelling and limits, will download and install them on their systems. We plan to automatize the process a bit in the future but this isn't done yet. -- Jean Delvare
