there already seems to be *heaps* of reversed engineered information about programming its chipset (from decompiled AP firmware). could be off assistance also. Dean What we can do is also spy all IOs to the chip and use that to understand how it works, eventually writing a linux driver...

According to Michael Tautschnig, on Sat, 3 Sep 2005 Did you mean the above change by this approach - if so, what else would you suggest? IMHO one could then easily change this by unloading the module and loading it again with fan_speed=0 . better to make an entry fan_speed in /sys IMO...
