 on the ASUS P4B board under Linux.
 It works by turning on the SMBus PCI device.
 It is implemented as a module, p4b_smbus.o.
-It only works with the ICH2 (82801BA) and ICH4 (82801DB).
+It works with the following chips:
+ * ICH2   (82801BA)
+ * ICH2-M (82801BAM)
+ * ICH4   (82801DB)
+ * ICH4-M (82801DBM)

-ASUS switches off the SMBus PCI Device
-in the i801 ICH2/4 chip. I spoke two times
+ASUS switches off the SMBus PCI Device in the i801 ICH chip. I spoke twice
 with the German support and learned that: "We do not want the users to be
 irritated by just another PCI Device in the Win98 device manager."
 Really funny :-).
 
-NOTE: We have a report that as of kernel 2.4.23, the kernel activates
-the SMBus PCI device, so that this module is not required.
+NOTE: As of kernel 2.4.23, the kernel activates the SMBus PCI device
