Well, fan and power throttling works with 2.6.x kernel and the powernow daemon if that's what you want to know.

thank you for the quick replies.
so i guess there are only minor issues right now using centrino with conjuction with the 2.6 kernel?

is there anything critical that wont allow me to use gentoo on such a laptop?
