There are exactly 3 files in the drivers/i2c subdirectory; the 
i2c-core.ko, i2c-dev.ko, and i2c-sensor.ko.  There are 3 more subdirs 
under i2c that have the chips, busses and algos.  I'm not sure I'm 
understanding what all is supposed to be where, but when I do an 
modprobe -l | grep i2c |wc -l, I get 52 lines......  Something tells me 
that supermicro is not sending me all the info I need, and their tech 
support, from what I've been reading is having to send my questions up 
to someone else.  Could be a translation problem somewhere, or a 
communications problem somewhere. 

Thanks
