Description
-----------
i2c-viapro is a true SMBus host driver for motherboards with one of the
supported VIA southbridges.
Your /proc/pci or lspci -n listing must show either of these :
device 1106:3050 (vt82c596 function 3)
device 1106:3057 (vt82c686 function 4)
If neither of these show up, you should look in the BIOS for settings like
enable ACPI / SMBus or even USB.
To install this driver, simply do
# modprobe i2c-viapro
