-If you have a new Dothan CPU (Centrino with 2Megs of L2 cache) and kernel 2.6.8, then you will need to apply [http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.8-rc3/2.6.8-rc3-mm1/broken-out/bk-cpufreq.patch this patch] and [http://gort.metaparadigm.com/cpufreq/cpufreq-speedstep-dothan-3.patch this one], too. Otherwise speedstep will not work on your Dothan CPU.
