Yeah I do have that driver compiled into my kernel.I guess that explains why my computer is alway on full throdle. It will probably blow out in about six months at this rate. Well since freebsd does not recognize my built in power management card, I wonder if someone makea power management cards separately that are not integrated on a mother board that freebsd would recognize. I think the power management stuff is important because if I am not mistaken it handles all the standby mode stuff which not only safes power, but also saves wear and tear.
