90.Sh HISTORY
91The
92.Nm
93driver first appeared in
94.Nx 1.5 ,
95was ported to
96.Ox 3.4
97and imported into
98.Dx 1.11 .
99.Sh AUTHORS
100.An -nosplit
101The
102.Nm
103driver was written by
104.An Bill Squier
105and ported to
106.Ox 3.4
107by
108.An Alexander Yurchenko Aq grange@openbsd.org .
109The driver was largely rewritten for
110.Ox 3.9
111by
112.An Mark Kettenis Aq kettenis@openbsd.org .
113The driver was then ported to
114.Fx
115by
116.An Constantine A. Murenin Aq cnst@FreeBSD.org
117as a part of a Google Summer of Code 2007 project.
118.Sh CAVEATS
119Some vendors connect these chips to non-standard thermal diodes and
120resistors.
121This will result in bogus sensor values.
122.Sh BUGS
123Interrupt support is unimplemented.
124.Pp
125There are currently no known pnpbios IDs assigned to LM chips.
126.Pp
127This driver attaches to the Winbond W83791SD chip even though that
128chip does not have any sensors.
