Enhanced Speedstep and Thermal Management. They're useful if you want to use powerd to conserve power / reduce heat generation.

Just formatting. USB (and a lot more) was under GIANT in 5.x as well, but 5.x didn't tell you which drivers were running under GIANT. 6.x does as a gentle reminder that those areas need to be worked on ;) Craig _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
