The 1-wire drivers are for some odd reason not built in Fedora kernels. Could those please be included?
I think they weren't enabled basically because nothing was using them. Oh, that was it.. there was some conflict with the matrox w1 driver and the matrox framebuffer driver iirc, because only one of them could register the PCI device successfully. afaik, we still don't support multiple drivers for a single pci device. The other W1 drivers are probably safe to enable though.
The w1 thermal devices expose a sysfs interface, so they are useful for anyone with a shell. :) So please enable in a not too far away F8 update.
In F8 2.6.24.4-75 and also in rawhide (without the Matrox driver.)
Any plans for a new build for F8?
