[Bug 82242] speedstep-centrino.ko: missing kernel module in kernel 2.6.20-5.7

[matejkenda]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-generic

I have upgraded from Edgy to Feisty on a laptop HP Compaq nw8440 and
noticed that the kernel module speedstep-centrino was not loaded.

AFAIK, this kernel module should be detected by the /usr/share/powernowd
/cpufreq-detect.sh and loaded by the powernowd startup script.

The laptop has processor Intel Centrino Duo. From /proc/cpuinfo

processor       : 1
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 15
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU         T7200  @ 2.00GHz
stepping        : 6
cpu MHz         : 1000.000

I have queried installed files on my laptop and packages.ubuntu.com. I
have noticed that the kernel package for Edgy contains the driver,
however it is missing in the Feisty package.
