That came from http://piie.net/. I just > packaged it. Usual 'no warranty' disclaimers apply :-) The fan on my AAO is quiet. It seems to self modulate between low and high as required without me doing anything to it, or loading any special modules. The one on my wifys is noisy. It too self modulates between noisy and hurrican as required. I loaded up something called acerfand on hers - it's a shell script. It turns the fan off and only turns it on when the thing is really cooking... So far so good... So what's this module doing then?
