- Linux 2.6 users do not need to get this i2c package, it's already part of
the kernel tree.

The problem (now) is:
- Most third party monitoring applications do not yet work with the library in
this package

In Devil the problem there is for net-snmp (there is a patch for new lm-sensor)

I don't remember and I search old LOG but I must compile 1.2 and I drop all
but I don't think.
Patch is same to 2.6.23 but apply to 2.6.24 without other code

I agree

Module is very old (three years old if I remember ...)
