Mathieu,

  what FreeBSD version are you running? I know FreeBSD 6.2's hwpmc module
does not support Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I don't know if Joseph has
done any advance on this, but I'm pretty sure that
http://wiki.freebsd.org/PmcTools/PmcHardware would state this if this had
happened.

Regards,

Mathieu
