Hi,

Your CPU is to new, I guess Penryn based.

The driver will work if you just fix:

 

                 /* check if family 6, models e, f */ 

                 if ((c->cpuid_level < 0) || (c->x86 != 0x6) || 

                     !((c->x86_model == 0xe) || (c->x86_model == 0xf))) {

to:
 

                 /* check if family 6, models e, f */ 

                 if ((c->cpuid_level < 0) || (c->x86 != 0x6) || 

                     !((c->x86_model == 0xe) || (c->x86_model == 0x17))) {

Thanks,

Rudolf
