In this case another way to get temperature monitoring is blocked.
BTW yesterday I tried to force sysutils/wmhm to use /dev/io instead of /dev/smb0,
and what do you think - temperature monitor always shows 255C. :-)
So why you said, that something about quirks, that they will not work
in our case? I guess now it's the only way for me.
