Is impossible use speedstep in my Laptop with Pentium M 1,86Ghz:

#modprobe speedstep-centrino
FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino (/lib/modules/2.6.18-3-686/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.ko): No such device

To do that (speedstep), I need install powersaved, but speedstep-centrino is not used.

I believe acpi-cpufreq is preferred over speedstep-centrino in most cases today, does that work?

Robert, acpi_cpufreq works fine to me.
I insert parameter CPUFREQD_MODULE="acpi_cpufreq" in my /etc/powersave/cpufreq and now is possible use scaling frequency.

I read /usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.c and see that this module is made using document 25261202.pdf (from Intel) as reference.

This document include only some Pentium M models.

My Pentium M is model 750 (1.86GHz) and you can see datasheet on document 30526202.pdf available here:
<http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/datashts/30526202.pdf>

What I can choose on "CPUFreq Processor drivers" availiable in .config?
Currently I do that (in Kernel 2.6.21.1):

# CPUFreq processor drivers

CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=m

# CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K7 is not set
