speedstep-centrino won't load [Fxd]

Hi guys,

i installed Arch on my Acer Travelmate WLMI 4002 Laptop & i can't load the speedstep_centrino module. the CPU is Pentium M 1.6 GHz.

when i run

modprobe speedstep-centrino

i get no such device.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Isn't that speedstep_centrino with a _ and not a - ?

Re: speedstep-centrino won't load [Fxd]

the "no such device" means the kernel loaded the module but couldn't find any hardware to match the module - in this case you didn't have a processor supported by the "centrino" cpufreq module

He's got a Pentium M, it should be supported...

Well i read some other forums & found out that the Pentium M 725 & up are not supported by the centrino module. there is a patch called speedspet-centrino-dothan-3 which fixed the problem.i think the module works better than the acpi one.
