=== Notes ===

 1. Despite "Centrino Speedstep" being all over the product literature, the "centrino-speedstep" module does not work.  To enable CPU power scaling under Fiesty, add "p4_clockmod" to /etc/modules.  Until then, symptoms include:
 * CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet reports that scaling is unsupported
 * '''sudo cpufreq-select -g ''any-option''''' returns "No cpufreq support"
 * cpufreq is missing from sys-fs (/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq)
