      I have a desktop style computer and I had these System - Advanced - Misc - PowerD settings with 2.1.4 prior to 2.2

      On AC Power Mode: Adaptive
      On Battery Power Mode: Adaptive

      It seems we gained a new option, On Unknown Power Mode, which seems to have been set to HiAdaptive in my case after upgrading.

      Logically, in my opinion, the "unknown" should not be set to be in a power mode no greater than the max of the Battery or AC.

      I was wondering why my CPU was a 2ghz, 43c temp, and all of my NIC interrupts were a 0.00%. They're never at 0.00%, maybe 0.01%, but never 0.

      last pid: 18051;  load averages:  0.04,  0.04,  0.03  up 0+18:05:18    11:20:27
      138 processes: 6 running, 102 sleeping, 30 waiting

      Mem: 43M Active, 92M Inact, 348M Wired, 976K Cache, 537M Buf, 7345M Free
      Swap:

      Good news, I am already down to 38c after only 5 minutes.

        I've also noticed pfsense doesn't seem to be cpu stepping either. Seems my system running full speed as well. 2.66Ghz all the time, about 50C and I use hiadaptive on ac

          In my case it was stepping up and down in smaller jumps. I for sure saw HiAdaptive at 1ghz, 1.2ghz, 1.5ghz, 1.7ghz, 2ghz, 2.5ghz, along with full speed at 3.2ghz a few times. Normally when I use regular adaptive, it hangs out around 300mhz, 450mhz, and 600mhz.

            True. On HiAdaptive, the speed stays on max. On Adaptive it seems to step down.
