 | 18 | Description | 
 | 19 | ----------- | 
 | 20 |  | 
 | 21 | i2c-nforce2 is a driver for the SMBuses included in the nVidia nForce2 MCP. | 
 | 22 |  | 
 | 23 | If your 'lspci -v' listing shows something like the following, | 
 | 24 |  | 
 | 25 | 00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0064 (rev a2) | 
 | 26 |         Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 0c11 | 
 | 27 |         Flags: 66Mhz, fast devsel, IRQ 5 | 
 | 28 |         I/O ports at c000 [size=32] | 
 | 29 |         Capabilities: <available only to root> | 
 | 30 |  | 
 | 31 | then this driver should support the SMBuses of your motherboard. |

 | 34 | Notes | 
 | 35 | ----- | 
 | 36 |  | 
 | 37 | The SMBus adapter in the nForce2 chipset seems to be very similar to the | 
 | 38 | SMBus 2.0 adapter in the AMD-8111 southbridge. However, I could only get | 
 | 39 | the driver to work with direct I/O access, which is different to the EC | 
 | 40 | interface of the AMD-8111. Tested on Asus A7N8X. The ACPI DSDT table of the | 
 | 41 | Asus A7N8X lists two SMBuses, both of which are supported by this driver. |
