cpufrequtils should not be needed, as the Linux kernel in wheezy is
supposed to enable frequency scaling by default.

Please can you temporarily remove cpufrequtils ('apt-get purge
cpufrequtils'), reboot, and send the contents of:

/proc/cpuinfo
/proc/modules
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/uevent
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
/var/log/dmesg

Ben.

Always try to do things in chronological order;
it's less confusing that way.
