Re: Request: extra kernel modules (bmcsensors and i2c-ipmi)



Hmm,

For me this is a nice-to-have, if the bmcsensors driver in the 2.6.17+
kernel tree is unavailable, i'd rather wait for this to be included
into the mainstream kernel instead of distributing (if it comes to
that) a manually patched kernel. Plus i believe the currently
distributed lmsensor version is too old to work with this patch.

So for now, thanks for the info, I'll wait until this is included into
the mainstream kernel development and the updated lmsensors.

Thanks,
Tom

PS
Is there a wishlist or something to which this can be added as soon
the above is available?
