hi,

i have a acer travelmate 8005 which has a pentium-m centrino with
speedstep. however, using 2.6.11, i am unable to load the
speedstep-centrino kernel module as it complains that there is no such
device.

i have read in many other places whereby ppl with the same laptop have
got this to work. is there something wrong with my kernel config?

thanks
