    Hello
    According to this article; The Gigabyte WMI sensor drivers should be in kernel 5.13+. https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/GIGABYTE_WMI.html
    I am on 6.10RC2 Kernel 5.14+ but the driver is not present.


    root@MOUNRAID01:/lib/modules/5.14.15-Unraid/kernel/drivers# find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/ -iname "*gigabyte*"

     

    returns nothing.

     

    I have an X570S Gigabyte motherboard and want to use the WMI driver that has recently been built for Linux. -

    Why is the driver not present?

    Since RC4 is now out can anyone confirm if the gigabyte driver is now present in the kernel?

    find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/ -iname "*gigabyte*"

    Hi, I just checked in my server who's running RC4 and the driver is not there the command return nothing.

    I share you pain, I'm waiting for the Asus WMI driver which is staged in kernel 5.16.

    Please can someone from @limetech acknowledge that the Asus and Gigabyte WMI drivers are missing and the reasons why? Is it because as suggested they are staged in linux kernel 5.16 and not in the current UNRAID vers. 5.15? Thanks!
