I'm currently running 2.4.19, but I did install lm_sensors on my asus mb 
with 2.4.18

Do I have to download the

I just followed the instructions, so I don't know, I don't know that it 
would hurt to try though.  (disclaimer:  not responsible for loss of 
blue smoke)

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
