[plug] i2c???

[Mungo TheB]

Thanks
thats what I needed (a kick in the right direction :)

found
Users whose systems require additional i2c-related kernel modules (bttv, 
i2c-matrox, rivatv, zoran...) will require additional patches for the Linux 
2.4.21 and 2.4.22 kernels. These patches fix compatibility differences 
between i2c-2.8.0 and the Linux 2.4 kernels.

now I know WHERE to look :)
