 working better and develop formulas for different thermistors

+    Do you own an ASUS motherboard?  Perhaps your chip is being
+misidentified.  Look on the motherboard (or at
+http://mbm.livewiredev.com) for a 'Winbond' or Asus chip.
+Often the real device is an Asus as99127f. If so, the driver can be
+forced to recognize the as99127f with
+'force_as99127f=BUS,0x2d' where BUS is your i2c bus number.
+Cat /proc/bus/i2c to see a list of bus numbers.
+Read the w83781d module documentation (doc/chips/w83781d)
+for more details.
