i recently started using intel wireless on my thinkpad x60, through
the wpi(4) driver. earlier, i had heating issues, which were resolved
by setting hw.setperf to 0, but now i again see my laptop heating up
-- especially below my right palm.
temperature sensor outputs from sysctl shows:
hw.sensors.acpitz0.temp0=60.05 degC (zone temperature)
hw.sensors.acpitz1.temp0=60.05 degC (zone temperature)
hw.sensors.cpu0.temp0=58.00 degC
hw.sensors.wpi0.raw0=155 (temperature 0 - 285)
hw.sensors.aps0.temp0=57.00 degC
hw.sensors.aps0.temp1=57.00 degC
wpi shows 155, which is roughly 68 deg C. is the heating because of
wpi? that's what has changed. any pointers to cooling down the laptop
will be appreciated. dmesg, if needed, is here

I've had heat issues with my X61s, running i386, but I've never related
it to the wpi, which works without issues for me. I seem to recall
someone mentioning this not being an issue for amd64, but I may be wrong.
For me, extensive gaming (e.g. xmoto) made acpitz bail out. The fan
speed is always running at a constant low speed.
Any year now I'll get my thumb out of my ass and upgrade to amd64 and
see what happens. :)
