i2c not detected on Dell Inspiron 5100 4.8-STABLE

[james russell]

Hello,

added to kernel config:

device          iic
device          iicbus
device          ic

and these in case:

device          iicsmb
device          iicbb
device          smbus
device          smb

I made and installed world and kernel last night from freshly cvsupped source.

grepping dmesg for 'ic' 'iic' or 'i2c' produces no output.

I'm not sure what to try next, as I don't get any sort of error message afaict.

fwiw, Knoppix (cd-bootable linux with lots of hw detection code) loads up i2c
just fine on the same machine.   I need to run FreeBSD though!

I can post the full kernel config or the dmesg from either OS if that will help.

any ideas or pointers to documentation will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
