Module speedstep-centrino removed from latest Knoppix

[da.phreak]

In the latest Knoppix Release (5.3), the kernel module speedstep-centrino has been removed. I'd like to ask what the reasons for this decision are.

I am aware that the acpi-cpufreq module is supposed to replace speedstep-centrino, but this module doesn't work due to lacking bios support. Now my CPU only works at 600 MHz instead of 1.6 GHz. I'm right now doing a backup to an encrypted partition. The loss of speed is very significant.

Could this module be included again in later releases ?

I would go to knoppix.org and ask klaus knopper to do this.

OK, thanks I'll try that.
