Bug Description

I reported a problem with speed step on my Dothan 1.8ghz centrino laptop in bug 90744 that was rejected, suggesting that the Dothan cpu tables are not in the upstream linux kernel. That was for Feisty H5, but the problem still persists in the recently released Feisty Beta.

For 7.04 to be usable for Dothan based laptops, this needs to be resolved, but I need advice on how to notify the maintainers of this, to ensure the final version will have this included.

This bug prevents Dothan hardware from running 7.04 acceptably.

I had the same issue, but got it fixed by changing from the default 2.6.20-14-generic kernel to the 2.6.20-14-386 version. Speedstep is now working fine both plugged in and unplugged! :)

Well using 386 is not a solution. We need to get 2.6.20-14-generic fixed. My laptop has 1.5G centrino and missing the speed step
