several of my laptop batteries(L-ION) have an i2c bus to the eeprom 
inside the case. is it possible to reprogram or reset a battery i have 
repacked from within freebsd or will i need to do this with the 
available windows programs?
what i'm asking is if freebsd actually supports sending of data over the 
i2c bus from userland.
