You mean the module speedstep-centrino is deprecated now, and I should use acpi_cpufreq on any Pentium M laptop? Even if my kernel is 2.6.17?

No. speedstep centrino is deprated only in 2.6.20 onwards. 2.6.17 acpi-cpufreq or speedstep-centrino any one of them can work

Depending on what your BIOS ACPI support has. So, please try both acpi-cpufreq
and speedstep_centrino (with SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI enabled in

config).

If both of them does not work, please go ahead and open a bug at bugme.osdl.org
under ACPI related bugs. We can track the issue down systematically

Also, if none of those two drivers work, it will be interesting to

know

with earlier kernels as well.

Thanks,

I am currently using acpi-cpufreq, which seems to work fine. But I thought speedstep-centrino was more specific and suited to Centrino processors, that's why I was quite concerned about that failure when trying to load the module.
So, just a misunderstanding about those two drivers... sorry!

Thank you,
Federico
