hp-wmi-sensors (hwmon sensors driver for HP business-class PCs)
|
|
|
|
Hewlett-Packard (and some HP Compaq) business-class computers report
|
|
hardware monitoring information via Windows Management Instrumentation
|
|
(WMI). This driver exposes that information to the Linux hwmon
|
|
subsystem, allowing userspace utilities like sensors to gather numeric
|
|
sensor readings.
|
|
|
|
In particular, it's required on some systems (e.g. the SlackBuild
|
|
author's HP Z2 Mini G3) for fan speeds to be visible in 'sensors'.
|
|
|
|
Slackware-specific notes:
|
|
|
|
The driver is a kernel module. By default, it's built for the
|
|
currently running kernel, but you can build it for any kernel version
|
|
if you have that kernel's modules and source installed. Set the KERNEL
|
|
environment variable to the version you want to build for.
|
|
|
|
After installation, you can load the driver immediately, with:
|
|
|
|
/sbin/modprobe hp-wmi-sensors
|
|
|
|
To load the module on every boot, add the above command to
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules.local
|
|
|
|
Note that there's already an hp-wmi module in Slackware's
|
|
kernel-modules package. Loading hp-wmi-sensors will add new sensors,
|
|
if there any supported by the driver. Look at the output of the
|
|
'sensors' command before and after loading the module, to see if it
|
|
found anything supported.
|
|
|
|
Note to Slackware-current users: this build was developed and
|
|
tested on Slackware 15.0 (latest stable) with the 5.15.x series of
|
|
kernels. It may or may not work on -current. If it doesn't, I don't
|
|
want you to contact me about it *unless* you send me a patch that
|
|
fixes it.
