[gentoo-laptop] Using speed step with a Pentium III.

[Jonathan]

I can not make speed step work with my Toshiba Protege 7200.
My laptop has a Pentium III (Coppermine) processor.
I'm sure it can use speedstep because I used throttling software under Windows.
My kernel version is 2.6.28-gentoo-r5.

Using modprobe on speedstep-smi and speedstep-ich returns "FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_* (FilePath) No such device" and the exit code is 0.

What does this return?

grep 'TOSHIBA' /usr/src/linux/.config
