I read on the list where centrino now has full powernow(or something) support on BSD. Also search the acpi list for your board and/or bios. There are some black listed products because acpi is broke on them. I seem to remember some asus products mentioned. Read the handbook about fixing or forcing acpi to load too if it is note black listed. Acpi is on in the bios and being loaded as a module right?
