i recently started using intel wireless on my thinkpad x60, through
the wpi(4) driver. earlier, i had heating issues, which were resolved
by setting hw.setperf to 0, but now i again see my laptop heating up
-- especially below my right palm.

temperature sensor outputs from sysctl shows:
hw.sensors.acpitz0.temp0=60.05 degC (zone temperature)
hw.sensors.acpitz1.temp0=60.05 degC (zone temperature)
hw.sensors.cpu0.temp0=58.00 degC
hw.sensors.wpi0.raw0=155 (temperature 0 - 285)
hw.sensors.aps0.temp0=57.00 degC
hw.sensors.aps0.temp1=57.00 degC

wpi shows 155, which is roughly 68 deg C. is the heating because of
wpi? that's what has changed. any pointers to cooling down the laptop
will be appreciated. dmesg, if needed, is here

thanks.
