"/proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq" is only available if the "rtc" kernel
module is loaded!

To load it manually, do:
        sudo modprobe rtc
To load it automatically each time you boot the system:
        Add "rtc" (without quotation marks!) in it's own line in
        "/etc/modules" (make sure not to delete any lines in that
        file!).

Ziyad.
