Yes, I also think so because I already use the two interfaces in
parallel on other computers (x86).

I don't use any freq control program yet.

What is yours? My understanding is that my CPU ID (PowerBook6,4) is not
yet supported by the Linux kernel because in
linux-2.6.7/arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_cpufreq.c I see :
| /* Check for newer machines */
| if (machine_is_compatible("PowerBook3,4") ||
| machine_is_compatible("PowerBook3,5") ||
| machine_is_compatible("MacRISC3")) {
But some people seems to have their Powerbook 12" 867Mhz supported (by
cpufreq) which have a cpuinfo that give :
cpu : 7455, altivec supported
clock : 53MHz
revision : 3.3 (pvr 8001 0303)
bogomips : 51.90
machine : PowerBook6,1
motherboard : PowerBook6,1 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh
detected as : 271 (Unknown Pangea-based)
pmac flags : 00000008
L2 cache : 256K unified
memory : 384MB
pmac-generation : NewWorld
So I supposed it's the MacRISC3 compatibilty mode that must be used in
cpufreq code, but it doesn't seems to work with my CPU...
