Yes...

Exactly--well it *should*!  The kernel module speedstep-centrino implements 
Enhanced SpeedStep, and neither it nor the ACPI Processor P[ower]-States module 
(stupidly named simply "acpi") will work--I get a "No such device" error when 
modprobing them with BIOS version 0200 and an oops when modprobing them with 
BIOS versions 0202 or 0203.

Any other suggestions?  Does anyone have a really good grasp of either ACPI P-
states or Enhanced SpeedStep who could help me decipher how to match up Asus' 
renamed functions with the real ones?

Please?  I'll throw in a Gmail invite... ;-)
