Does anyone have this working? Can you provide a few steps or pointers please. Am running kernel 2.6.22

Edit: If I run this script -

I get this error -
linux-5m25:/home/harryc/downloads # sh tp-fancontrol.sh
tp-fancontrol_bu.sh: line 202: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
tp-fancontrol_bu.sh: line 202: ` read X Y1 Y2 Y3 Y4 Y5 Y6 Y7 Y8 Z1 Z2 Z3 JNK < <(echo "$THERMAL") '

Manual fan control works -
linux-5m25:/home/harryc # echo level 3 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
linux-5m25:/home/harryc # echo level 2 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

Disregard the error post. I was running the script incorrectly. Now works.
