Bug Description

Binary package hint: fwts

Ubuntu Natty fwts thermal_trip won't work for 2.6.38 kernels - the ACPI processor throttling /proc interface was removed in 2.6.38 making this test fail.

The thermal_trip test requires the interfaces to able to determine throttling state - now it has been removed in 2.6.38 this test is no longer sensible. Thus the thermal_trip test should be dropped.

A newer version 0.22.07 of the firmware test suite (fwts) tool is now available which fixes the above issue by removing this test as it's incompatible with the natty kernel.

New version for natty is in the PPA: at https://launchpad.net/~firmware-testing-team/+archive/scratch/+packages

Can this be uploaded? Thanks!
