Dear maintainers,

I really do not know, if the following is a bug. 
Description:
I am using an Asus EEEPC 1005HGO. I discovered, that the fan is never stop running, even when the cpu teperature is cold.
Additionally I saw, that the process fancontrol is not running. There is a configuration file available (/etc/fancontrol).
The configuration tool pwmconfig can not be started. 

So far so well. 

In earlier days I started in grub with the command acpi_osi="Linux". I suppose, you know that option. When I do so,
eeepc_wmi is not loaded, but the older kernel-module eeepc-laptop. In that case either fancontrol is running and pwmconfig 
is started as well.

I was adviced and also read in tha manuals, that eeepc-laptop is no more developed, and I should use eeepc-wmi.

This is ok for me, but if I should do so, how can I manage it, that the fan will be completeley stopped, when the cpu is cold (let's say 
below 45 degrees for example)? If it cannot at the moment, then IMO this is a bug and should be fixed.

If you do not agree, please give me a notice.

Thank you very much for reading this.

Best regards

Hans

Hi

Assuming the issue is not anymore reproducible on recent kernels I'm 
going to close this bugreport by now to clean up the list of src:linux
bugs from very old issues. In case you can reproduce the issue feel
free to reopen the bug.
 
Regards,
Salvatore
