  There's no need in kernel module, all you want is a small piece of
chip-specific userland code for healthd itself. Take a look at my patch:

ftp://external.atlantis.dp.ua/FreeBSD/healthd/0.7.9/patch-IntelDeskBoards.v04

It adds support for several chips including ADM1025. Unfortunately I have
neither ADM1026-based motherboard nor spare time to help you, but I hope
you'll get an idea - code is very simple indeed.


Sincerely, Dmitry
