The latest version of sensors-detect, at:
  http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/files/sensors-detect
points to the correct driver meanwhile.

Which makes me think that probably it's about time to release
lm-sensors 3.3.1.

Right, and on tits way to Linus for kernel 3.0 as we speak.
Alternatively, if you don't feel like patching your kernel tree or
running a 3.0-rc kernel, I've updated the standalone driver at:
