eee-control is an easy-to-use utility for controlling Eee PC hardware under Linux. It can toggle hardware (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) on and off, lets you configure all hardware hotkeys, enables aggressive powersaving, and more.
Now, when I am on AC-power, I use my EEE 1000H in performance mode and when I am mobile, I use it under powersave mode to prolong the battery life. Earlier, I used to get 3.5-4 hours in Linux and now, I am able to get 5 hours in Ubuntu Linux, which is pretty respectable for a netbook.The eee-control automatically starts when you log-in and resides in the taskbar so that you always have access to it when needed.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/how-to-control-cpu-speed-of-your-atom-powered-asus-eee-pc-in-ubuntu-linux/feed/ 5
