CentOS - Mar 2015 - How to install tp_smapi and acpi_call kernel modules

Hello,

I've got a Thinkpad T420 and would like to use full tlp functionality.
Therefore I need the kernel module tp_smapi and acpi_call.

Have a look right here:
http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-linux-advanced-power-management.html#installation
There are only fedora related packages but none for RHEL/CentOS.

Should I install that repo and hardcode the mirror to the fc21 repo?

Regards
Tim

Fedora 20 and 21

TLP packages are available from the official Fedora repositories:

    tlp (Updates) ? Power saving
    tlp-rdw (Updates) ? optional, Radio Device Wizard

Install the above packages with the command (in a root shell):
yum install tlp tlp-rdw

Note: packages for RHEL/CentOS are available from EPEL6/7 repositories.

Thanks for your answer.

tlp and tlp-rdw are already installed from epel.
But these packages miss that kernel modules.
So when I want these I have to add the repo and replace $release in the mirror
url with 21 of fedora, right?
