There is as far as I know no option in the kernel config for thermal management on these machines. I am clueless as to why is the fan behaving differently, it simply shouldn't. I'm not an expert here, but could it be the kernel is not using some kind of CPU idling when it's not busy? Maybe the CPU is actually running hotter than it used to. Just an idea, may not be founded in fact. ;) Well, if there's no means to control when the fan starts it probably _is_ something like this. i'll try some earlier 2.6 kernels then since Stefan earlier stated that this change didn't occur at the 2.4-2.6 switch but somewhere in the early 2.6 series (IIRC before 2.6.7). i'm hardly using the machine anymore because that goddamn fan is just too annoying and if i try to compensate by turning up my music the neighbors will complain after a while ;( pgpLKdcj94NW6.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-ppc-user] emerge linux-wlan-ng problem on ppc
Howdy, I am done installing gentoo now. I had to install Ubuntu on another partition and install gentoo one step at a time over a couple of weeks. iBook 366, and can't boot from CDRs. I figured out how to tell emerge to build linux-wlan-ng against warnings with: export ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~ppc' Then here is what happens: trix boot # emerge linux-wlan-ng Calculating dependencies ...done! emerge (1 of 1) net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23 to / md5 files ;-) linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23.ebuild md5 files ;-) linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre20.ebuild md5 files ;-) linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0-r3.ebuild md5 files ;-) ChangeLog md5 files ;-) metadata.xml md5 files ;-) files/digest-linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre20 md5 files ;-) files/digest-linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre23 md5 files ;-) files/digest-linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0-r3 md5 files ;-) files/linux-wlan-2.6.10-fix.diff md5 src_uri ;-) linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre23.tar.bz2 md5 src_uri ;-) linux-wlan-ng-gentoo-init.gz * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 Unpacking source...

Ubuntu has linux-wlan-ng in apt, and I actually used my Prism device to install gentoo on the other partition. Any help appreciated. I'm almost there!
