Info: fancontrol setup broken

Select a temperature sensor as source for hwmon2/device/pwm1:
1) hwmon0/temp1_input                                       
2) hwmon1/device/temp1_input                                 
3) hwmon1/device/temp3_input                                 
4) hwmon2/device/temp1_input                                 
5) hwmon2/device/temp2_input                                 
6) hwmon2/device/temp3_input                                 
7) None (Do not affect this PWM output)                     
select (1-n): 4                                             

Enter the low temperature (degree C)
below which the fan should spin at minimum speed (20): 40

Enter the high temperature (degree C)
over which the fan should spin at maximum speed (60): 63

Enter the PWM value (0-255) to use when the temperature
is over the high temperature limit (255):

Select fan output to configure, or other action:
1) hwmon2/device/pwm1  3) Just quit           5) Show configuration
2) Change INTERVAL     4) Save and quit
select (1-n): 2

pwmconfig does not show me the option to set the minimum fan speed. it surely did in the past. This is crap because on low temperatures it simply turns OFF the fan, which makes my pc speaker go on...

to work around this, one has to add something like

MINPWM=hwmon2/device/pwm1=100

to /etc/fancontrol
