The problem is that it stops in deeper idle states... (and that it may be out of sync on an multi-socket system) not that it keeps changing frequency ;( (so it still sucks, just differently) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
