Would like support for HP nc6230 laptop

[ticket]

Hello, I have an HP nc6230 laptop running SLED10 SP1 (kernel 2.6.16.43); I ran the latest sensors-detect and got back: Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0x0f00 Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0x3c00

Everything else was a "No".

Is there anything I can do to speed development of support for this platform? I'm willing to help test things, call SMSC (what do I need from them?), or whatever, but can't go so far as to send you the laptop, or break it ;-)

Thanks for any help, and let me know what I can do.

Could you please post the sensors-detect and sensors versions and the full output of sensors-detect?

I own a nc6000 and will try it over the next couple of days and report what I find.

The chip in this laptop is a SMSC Super I/O with a flat register space. It advertises itself with a device ID 0x7a (at address 0x0D) which is compatible to a 47N227 according to the Linux IRDA project. This chip does not contain any HW monitoring capabilities.
