Description Anno v. Heimburg 2003-11-19 02:05:07 UTC 
The current lm_sensors start script doesn't allow for options to the sensor modules. However, it is sometimes necessary to pass options upon module load.

I will upload a patch to the lm_sensor start script that allows a /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors file of the format

MODULE_0=whatever
MODULE_0="args for whatever"
MODULE_1=foo
MODULE_2=bar

It's a 2-liner, but I think it makes configuring lm_sensors easier for those who need to pass module options. Questions, comments, constructive criticism welcome
