Shall I send a 2.6.22 based version? FYI, on 2.6.24.2 this patch keeps the CPU set at max off power, but running the userspace governor and changing scaling_setspeed does not actually do anything. On 2.6.25.4 the patch keeps the CPU at max and allows frequency changes via the userspace governor. This is on a Toughbook CF-18 with a Pentium M processor. Thanks for the fix! T
