I don't know about that specific format with '.' inbetween words, but mine works perfectly well with the usual '/'. However, the key vs. what Nathan configured is omitting the leading '/proc/sys/'. Since this file controls sysctl, i.e. everything under /proc/sys.... > Speaking of which, does anyone know what sysctl keys I should use for > setting cpufreq?

That however mandates having the cpufreq control under /proc/sys, where IIRC it is not (yet?) at this time.
