This driver supercedes the NCT6775F and NCT6776F support in the W83627EHF
driver. It supports NCT6106D, NCT6775F, NCT6776F, NCT6779D, and NCT6791D.
-The driver should be in shape for upstream integration, and has been submitted
-to the lm-sensors mailing list for that purpose. Testing and review feedback
-will be required for the driver to be actually integrated. If you use the latest
-version of this driver, and/or if you can provide review feedback, please let
-the author know.
+The driver is also available in the upstream kernel. This version is maintained
+for backward compatibility with older kernels. I am trying to keep it buildable
+for older kernels, but may miss a problem once in a while. If you have a problem
+compiling this driver with any kernel version 2.6.16 or later, please let me
+know.
Kernel driver NCT6775
=======================
temperature increases (similar to the raw PECI temperature value - see PECI
specification for details). CPUTIN should therefore be be ignored on ASUS
boards. The CPU temperature on ASUS boards is reported from PECI 0.
+
+Also, there have been reports that not all fan speeds are reported on at least
+some ASUS boards. P9X79 WS is one example, where fan speed is only reported
+for two of the fans on the board.
+
+Note that ASUS does not support Linux on desktop boards (this appears to be
+official ASUS policy) and does not release board specifications, so there is
+nothing we can do to improve support for such boards unless we get board
+specifications or a detailed description on how to control the fans on the
+affected boards.
+
+Known Problems
+--------------
+
+After a suspend/resume cycle, all fan control settings are restored to the BIOS
+defaults.
