Subject: sensors, again

Greetings;

Since no else seems to be having a problem but me, and I refuse to
throw out my Hauppauge tv card, which some have said would make
sensors work, my next Q is:

Is there a utility that can scan the kernel and tell me what has
actually been builtin?

I ask because there is no trace of the ic2_algobit in /sys, its one of
the errors sensors reports, and it is (supposedly, thats why I ask
this question) compiled in. No errors were noted during any of the
about 20 or more kernel compiles I've done trying everyones ideas
out.

Kernel ATM is 2.6.1-rc1-mm2

Also, from a thread earlier today, I assume 2.6.1-rc2 is out, but
ANAICT no announcement was made here on this list. Did I miss it,
and if so can it be reposted? Everything that falls out of a kmail
search has RE: in front of it.

Just a "zcat /proc/config.gz" if you compiled the kernel with support
for it ("Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz").

The name of the driver is now "i2c-algo-bit.ko", not "ic2_algobit" :-)
You can find this driver under "I2C Algorithms" with the name of
"I2C bit-banging interfaces".

It is out, but no official announcement has been done.
