I have the same problem. After upgrading to Gutsy, speedstep doesn't
work. Pentium M 725 is stuck at 1600MHz.

I tried this:

# modprobe speedstep-centrino
FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino 
(/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.ko):
 No such device
# modprobe acpi-cpufreq
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq 
(/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko):
 No such device


This is with the standard Gutsy kernel, 2.6.22-14. The upgrade program left the 
old feisty kernel (2.6.20-16), that works OK.

On WinXP or Vista it is also stuck at 1600 at a default install. I must
use other programs like NHC or RMclock to change speed. So maybe ACPI is
broken on this laptop (AHTEC Signal X-9600M, wich is a Quanta Z500N).

Attached dmesg. note the lines:
ACPI: Invalid _PSS data: freq is zero

I understand that it worked before because of hardcoded speed and
voltage tables in speedstep-centrino, that are deprecated in the new
kernel. Is there a chance to get it fixed/patched on the next kernel
revision? If not I will be hearing this annoying fan forever... :)
