I guess it should be E1000_DEV_ID_PCH_M_HV_LM, which is in e1000_hw.h and there is "case E1000_DEV_ID_PCH_M_HV_LM" in e1000_api.c, but nothing in if_em.c for 8-STABLE. Revision 200243 has brought it to CURRENT on Dec-8, but that one did not get MFCed to 8-STABLE. I wonder if that was on purpose. (I put jfv@ on Cc, who did the commit.) >>> - CPU-C3: No C3 (dev.cpu.0.cx_supported: C1/3 C2/245) for i7-620M. Battery life will not be good without C3, and Turbo Boost will not work either. (Apparently, Linux got C3 support on a quick boot with a live CD.) >> >> Did you try removing the power cord? Sometimes C3 is hidden and only shows up when the power cord is unplugged. (I definitely should have put in the battery before pulling the power cord...) Unplugging the power while running FreeBSD does not change the sysctl. Or would I have to boot on battery? That would severely restrict the use. (I will try that later.) Turbo Boost requires C3 and is not a feature that is typically used on battery. Thanks for your help, Jan Henrik
