acpi-cpufreq + speedstep-centrino = intel-enhanced-speedstep unless you can think of a better name. Both acpi-cpufreq and speedstep-centrino turn out not to be good names, since they don't describe either the function of the driver or what hardware they run on. No, it wouldn't' make sense to combine the intel and amd drivers. -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
