    52   * In kernel 2.6.22, the way the I2C adapters are presented in sysfs changed, and this affects libsensors. You will need lm_sensors version 2.10.3 or later. Alternatively, the kernel can be compiled with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y, then older version of lm_sensors will work fine. 
     52  * In kernel 2.6.22, the way the I2C adapters are presented in sysfs changed, and this affects libsensors. You will need lm_sensors version 2.10.3 or later. Alternatively, the kernel can be compiled with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y, then version 2.10.2 will work too. Older versions of lm_sensors will complain that the I2C adapter names can't be read. This is only a warning though. 
    5353  * A few chip drivers are not yet ported. Therefore sensors-detect may recommend a driver that is not present. Please check your kernel configuration and the drivers/i2c/chips (up to 2.6.13-rc2) or drivers/hwmon (since 2.6.13-rc3) directory for the presence of your driver. Our [wiki:Devices Devices page] shows which drivers are present in 2.6 kernels. 
    5454  * If you would like to port an I2C/SMBus hardware monitoring driver, read [http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/i2c/porting-clients Documentation/i2c/porting-clients] as found in the Linux 2.6 kernel source tree. If you would like to port a non-I2C chip driver, make it a platform driver, using the f71805f driver as an example.
