Try dmidecode instead:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=dmidecode

Try also to see if by chance you can check at
http://www.compal.com/
if you can find your model (yep, it's not a Toshiba, and
their satellites are actually designed by compal).

(probably equivalent to a Satellite 1100 or 1950, Im not sure).

Send me it privately.  I guess it should not be so hard to debug.

What about the speedstep-ich cpufreq driver instead of the acpi one?
You can also use the p4-clockmod instead, but well, the speedstep-ich
one should be better (and you have acpi throttle anyway).

For wireless: I don't know.
For some of the multimedia keys, that should work normally with a 2.6 kernels?
If not, thy http://www.sf.net/projects/omke/
but with a 2.4 kernel only.  If omke is not OK, write me, (but
I need the dmidecode output and the dsdt in that case).
