["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hajnalka Torma, as per
http://www.toshiba.co.uk/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=UK an
update is available for your BIOS (2.10). If you update to this
following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change
anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Toshiba NB100 CPU stepping (frequency scaling) does not work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Toshiba NB100 netbook (Intel Atom N270 CPU) and my processor
  is always running at 0.8GHz even when it is under load. The last
  kernel version that worked appropriately on my netbook was the
  2.6.32-24 kernel in Lucid. All the newer kernel versions seem to be
  affected by this bug - I've tested newer Lucid kernels, the Maverick
  kernels, and the latest kernel in Natty Alpha 3 (2.6.38-5).

  This problem is especially annoying because Toshiba NB100 is an Ubuntu certified netbook: www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/200901-1471
