2.6.16.x CPUFREQ / SpeedStep-Centrino: couldn't enable Enchanced SpeedStep

[Ben Kevan <ben.kevan@gmail.com>]

Hi, 

I copied both on this because I thought you both may be interested. My problem 
is, my Toshiba Tecra M1 will only run at 598Mhz, and I can not use toshutils 
or anything else to configure speedstep to run higher. Or in any other way 
can I use it to run higher.  

Below are a bunch of commands to give you an idea of what's going on. Is this 
a bug with the 2.6.16.x build? Or is it something else that I am just 
oblivious too (ACPI?). 

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
