Hello and a great day!

Thanks for your work and effort

I (think I ) followed instructions for dkms-install (there is nothing complicate there is it?)
after reboot dmks status shows the msi-ec as INSTALLED
MControlCenter does NOT see it... AND refuses to even load...

I uninstalled dmks.... rebooted (again...)
and, without much of an expectation, went to download and install the deb version of your packages...
YET another reboot later...
MControl did immediately recognize the driver ....
after a little config (while I am typing this the FANS have ramped UP!!! - YES!)

THUS, there is 'something' in your package that is 'missing' from the install instructions...
(sorry, my knowledge skills are not enough to assess WHAT (otherwise I would have fixed it ... :-)

MSI: GE76 12UE456 (only the 11UE is listed as 'supported)
EC: 17K4EMS1.112 (listed as supported for a different model only... my assumption that this merge will apply to my HW)

OS: (K)ubuntu (I boot multiple versions...) 24.04
(ALL are using the driver now AND at least FANS are doing what is expected/hoped for...)

THERE will come a day when
a) MSI will support Linux... or
b) I will have enough money to afford native Linux Hardware with suitable specs..
c) I do not need it any more - LoL

Hello, I am happy the package worked for you. Concerning the model number and the EC version, MSI uses the same ec for several different models so yes it can work.

For the module load, maybe it is because the module does not load automatically. In the package I include a file that tells modprobe to automatically load MSI ec at boot so maybe it is because this file is not created normally. I hope you understand what I mean but to simplify:

• the deb package ship a file to automatically load the module at boot
• this file may be absent from the makefile instructions

I'm glad you found a method that worked for you .
