Thinking about it more, I started recalling other issues. The bus notifier chain doesn't replay previous events, so we also have to register the notifier before the _devices_ are registered. And this ruins the whole approach. :-/ Yeah, that's why I abandoned the bus notifier idea. -- Anton Vorontsov email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] irc://irc.freenode.net/bd2 _______________________________________________ i2c mailing list i2c@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/i2c
