Thanks for the tip, that helped a lot. Searching the web I found some cases, where the 
asus_atk0110 prevented other modules from working correctly. Mostly it was suggested to
add "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" to the kernel parameters. Allthough some people say this 
may be dangerous (others said it is not) I tried it and now the pwms are there again!

However, next problem was, that after each boot, hwmon1 and hwmon2 (dme1737 and 
asus_atk0110) may change. As a result, I was not able to write fixed adresses for the pwm in
the configuration file for the fan-controller. After blacklisting the asus_atk0110 this problem was 
also solved. As I dont need any of the outputs of the asus_atk0110 I dont think this is problem.
Most outputs are also given by the dme1737.

Could anyone please comment on this? Could it be dangerous to add "acpi_enforce_resources=lax"
to the kernel parameters? If so, what could happen? And, is there any reason to not blacklist the 
asus_atk0110 module?
