[PLUG] lm_sensors on MSI boards -- NOT!

[Rich Shepard]

   According to the reply I got from MSI's "tech support", they are unaware of
any OS other than those from Microsoft. I filled out their web form
explaining that I run linux and want to know if they have i2c drivers for the
sensors on their board.

   The reply indicates that they either did not read my message, or they just
did not understand it. They told me to use the Windows-only "PC Alert" and
that they use a "Winbond super IO" to read the sensors.

   While I'm not in a position now to replace the board (and it does work), I
now know to not buy any MSI product for my linux systems. At least I now
know.
