I've look for </sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq> but there is no
such things (?!) 'locate cpufreq' give that:

/usr/lib/gkrellm2/plugins/cpufreq.so
/usr/sbin/cpufreqsetgovernor
/usr/sbin/cpufreqset
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2f/Documentation/cpufreq
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2f/arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_cpufreq.c
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2f/include/linux/cpufreq.h
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2f/include/linux/modules/cpufreq.stamp
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2f/include/linux/modules/cpufreq.ver
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2f/kernel/cpufreq.c
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2g/Documentation/cpufreq
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2g/arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_cpufreq.c
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2g/include/linux/cpufreq.h
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2g/include/linux/modules/cpufreq.stamp
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2g/include/linux/modules/cpufreq.ver
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-2g/kernel/cpufreq.c

Thats all. I though it used to be somewhere in proc/... im confused. The
two commands found in /usr/sbin/ do anything...
