Intel X550-T2

Intel X550-T2

[Mikko Laaksonen]

Hello,

I would like to know how I can go about adding support for an Intel X550-T2 PCI-E network card in lm_sensors. The card comes with a number of sensors, including temperature, and a 1,200-page reference manual. sensors-detect does not recognize the card off the shelf.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Detection support in sensors-detect doesn't mean much, so I'd first
focus on whether data from the sensors is exported by the driver.
Looking at the ixgbe driver (am I looking at the correct driver?), it
does register a hwmon device, so the data could be available. Let's
verify that - what's the output of the 'sensors' program and the output
of 'cat /sys/class/hwmon/*/name'?

lspci | grep -i eth gives

Ok, I suggest that you talk to the ixgbe maintainers about exporting the
sensor data from your card through hwmon. When support for that is
available, I'll try to add detection support to sensors-detect. Other
than that, there's really not much to be done on lm_sensors side.
