Fan control is working in some way in Win2k on the same machine.
While on FreeBSD fan is fanning forever from the start of the machine
in Win2k environment it ceases in a while. So I suppose there's
some way how to do it. I can imagine this can be somehow connected
to processor frequency though Win2k reports the same frequency
all the time, but this might not be correct.
