For Asus P4B motherboards, use the p4b_smbus module;
see the file README.p4b.
NOTE:
This module is for 2.4 kernels only. For 2.6 kernels,
activation is handled by the code in drivers/pci/quirks.c
in the kernel source. If you have the latest 2.6 kernel and
the quirks code does not activate your SMBus, try adding support
in quirks.c, recompile and test your new kernel, and then
submit a patch to us. Contact us if you need assistance.

This is just a quick and dirty hack to get the hardware monitoring working
on the ASUS P4B board under Linux.
It works by turning on the SMBus PCI device.
