Oh, BTW, if you're using the i8k driver, you may want to give a try to
my modified version here:
  http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/i8k/
Generic instructions can be found here:
  http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/INSTALL

This version of the i8k driver has proper hwmon subsystem integration,
so whatever the i8k driver reports should show up in the output of
"sensors".
