Bug Description
On this Dell 5150, powernowd requires manual modprobing of speedstep_ich before
it works.
The cpu is a "Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz"
Let me know if there's any other info you need...

I could have sworn on hoary it used to load the right module, but it definitely
is broken now.
cpufreq-detect.sh speedstep- centrino$ EXT ;;
Intel\(R\)\ Pentium\(R\)\ 4\ Mobile\ CPU*)
MODULE=
/proc/cpuinfo
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Mobile CPU 1.60GHz
Definitely isn't a centrino, so it fails.
