I hope this bug doesn't get closed. It has been the same on hoary, breezy and
even dapper on a test partition (can't recall warty). All this time I have
refrained from using powernowd, but recently I am working 'mobile' again, so my
batteries fly (using 2 now) without using it. I'm running the same Dell Inspiron
8100 (PIIIM 1GHz) as Fabio, and I've tried his hack to load speedstep_ich at all
times (instead of speedstep-smi), but of no avail. My system errors on
modprobing speedstep-ich:
