10 Datasheet: not publically available, but seems to be similar to the
11 AMD-8111 SMBus 2.0 adapter.

18 Description
19 -----------
20
21 i2c-nforce2 is a driver for the SMBuses included in the nVidia nForce2 MCP.
22
23 If your 'lspci -v' listing shows something like the following,
24
25 00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0064 (rev a2)
26 Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 0c11
27 Flags: 66Mhz, fast devsel, IRQ 5
28 I/O ports at c000 [size=32]
29 Capabilities: <available only to root>
30
31 then this driver should support the SMBuses of your motherboard.

34 Notes
35 -----
36
37 The SMBus adapter in the nForce2 chipset seems to be very similar to the
38 SMBus 2.0 adapter in the AMD-8111 southbridge. However, I could only get
39 the driver to work with direct I/O access, which is different to the EC
40 interface of the AMD-8111. Tested on Asus A7N8X. The ACPI DSDT table of the
41 Asus A7N8X lists two SMBuses, both of which are supported by this driver.
