13.04 Temp Save, rt3290, Kernel downgrade
- by user170534
It's kind of a multiplying but I didn't wanted to open more than one topics.
I'd have a fresh install of Ubuntu with tlp configured and using acpi_call to keep 7670M turned off.
I was a short time arch user and with openbox and firefox it was about 60 to 70 degrees; wanted to turn to a stable release just for this reason.

Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +50.0°C

Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0: +56.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 0: +54.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1: +55.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
The temperature is not seriously high yet can be lower.
Another issue is my wifi card, rt3290:
The rt2800pci module is fine and all that but the download performance is pretty bad alongside of annoying signal range and the prop. driver gives a conf error about some specific rt2860 code and integrales in pci_dev file. If I blank off the error making variables, module loads but the driver is unused.
Since the driver is old, I was thinking of downgrading the kernel of raring to 3.7 or may be 3.6.
Should &-or can I?
