[lm-sensors] i810/815 temperature sensor

Salut Jonathan,

The debian kernel comes with all i2c modules AFAIK, so there is no need
to recompile it.

No temperature sensor module here.

Nor here.

Can you share the complete output of sensors-detect?

That's one possibility. Depends on the model, you didn't say what
motherboard model it was.

Another possibility is that the sensor is too new and sensors-detect
doesn't know about it. This is likely only if your motherboard is
relatively new and you use a relatively old version of lm_sensors.

The output of sensors-detect should tell.
