No longer a thing: sensor nct6798

The sensor chip on the Asus MB B550-plus is an Nuvoton nct6798. I had added the necessary configuration file which allows sensord to discover it a couple of years ago.

A recent linux upgrade has disabled access to that sensor.

How do I recover the sensor’s availability?

I meant to add this:

$ sudo modprobe nct6798
modprobe: FATAL: Module nct6798 not found in directory /usr/lib/modules/7.0.6-1-default
$

I understand that it was merged into the generic nct6775 hwmon driver some time ago. Try

sudo modprobe nct6775
lsmod | grep nct

then verify detection…
sudo sensors-detect

$ sudo modprobe nct6775
$ lsmod | grep nct
2:nct6775                40960  0
3:nct6775_core           81920  1 nct6775
4:hwmon_vid              12288  1 nct6775
$

Yay!
Thank you.

Did it survive after a reboot?
