+Description
+-----------
+
+i2c-viapro is a true SMBus host driver for motherboards with one of the
+supported VIA southbridges.
+
+Your lspci -n listing must show one of these :
+
+ device 1106:3050   (VT82C596 function 3)
+ device 1106:3051   (VT82C596 function 3)
+ device 1106:3057   (VT82C686 function 4)
+ device 1106:3074   (VT8233)
+ device 1106:3147   (VT8233A)
+ device 1106:8235   (VT8231)
+ devide 1106:3177   (VT8235)
+ devide 1106:3227   (VT8237)
+
+If none of these show up, you should look in the BIOS for settings like
+enable ACPI / SMBus or even USB.
