Luca,
Many thanks for your mail, and the information that where is an
ACPI driver that should work.
Alas, I am using Scientific Linux 5.4 ( a variant of RHEL 5.x )
which uses kernel version 2.6.18, where this driver isn't present.
Although I am very keen to find out how hot the CPU is running I doubt I
will have time to back-port the asus_atk0110 driver and I am reluctant
to risk breaking a lot of other things by moving away from a locally
supported platform.
I don't really understand which firmware is using the hardware
monitoring device (W83667HG-B ? ). Forgive my confusion, but is it
possible, even in theory, to write a user-space lm_sensors driver for
this motherboard?
Regards,
David

Hi,
I have a PC with a ASUS p7p55d motherboard. sensors-detect indicates
that it uses a W83667HG-B
Is there any estimate of how long it will take before there is a driver
for this device?
The native driver won't load because the hwmon chip is actively used
by the firmware. asus_atk0110 should work fine on this board.
