Tested with archived kernel versions:

- 3.0.0-12-generic
- 3.2.0-60-generic
- 3.13.0-24-generic
- 3.13.0-27-generic
- 3.13.0-29-generic (default)

Could not regain control of i8k on any of these kernels running Ubuntu 14.04. However, I was able to control the fans with i8kfan in previous versions of Ubuntu — this was an invaluable feature, as my BIOS would clock down the processor instead of turning up the fans when it got too hot. And I am constantly compiling other Launchpad branches, putting considerable strain on my processor.

I have a Dell Studio 1558 with an Intel Core i3 @ 2.26 GHz.
