It would be nice to automagically disable > audiopower when sound device is closed, and automagically power down > lan on ifconfig ... down. the audiopower is basically a _PS3/_PS0 switch for the device, while the lanpower plays with the embedded controller to powerdown/powerup. Now, unfortunately those methods are attached to a fake device in the DSDT and afaict there's no way to tell which real device they are playing with (except by inspecting the method implementations). Well of course iff there's only _one_ sound card and _one_ nic you can easily guess it :) Is there some way to hook into drivers for such kind of runtime power management? PS: lanpower currently seems to be a little too invasive (or it's just ACPI that reacts badly) because switching off lanpower also disables the pic link and never comes back. I need to better diagnose what's happening and report to linux-acpi. -- mattia :wq! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
