[lm-sensors] Any plans to support Fintek F71869A

[Mark O. Stitson]

Ok, I recompiled my kernel with the new module code and used the new
sensors_detect, and it works fine.

I guess it's not worth releasing a new lm-sensors until the kernel has the
new code as well, maybe just worth updating the wiki.

Many thanks for the help.

Mark

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.

Ian, please fix your quoting style, it took me a minute to actually see
your sentence.

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:
