OpenBSD Gains Centrino Power Management 49

Posted by michael on Friday January 16, 2004 @01:00PM from the save-a-watt-or-two dept.

In a recent email, Theo de Raadt announced support in -current for power management on the Pentium M series of processors. This allows the CPU to be throttled and therefore power saved. Additionally, dhclient was modified so that it is not necessary to find the process of the already-running dhclient and kill it before running dhclient again. This is useful for laptops that spend time roaming between different wireless networks, when dhclient is used fairly often.

daniel parsons has no wang.

Good for him. Wang hasn't been a computer maker anyone has bothered to care about for years.

The only reason to hold onto a wang at this point is nostalaga and a high electric bill to keep it powered.
