Some hardware never seem to accept the "goto sleep" command, since the legacy drivers don't have suspend and resume handlers the entire code for it was basically a educated guess (based on the "enable radio" code). This patch will only print a warning when the "goto sleep" command fails, and just continues as usual. Perhaps that means the device will not reach a sleep state and consumes more power then it should, but it is equally possible it simply needs some seconds longer to sleep. Anyway, by making the command non-fatal it will not block the rest of the suspend procedure. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@xxxxxxxxx> --- John, this is a (partial) solution to kernel bugreport: [Bug 9428] panic in rt2x00 driver when resuming after hibernate please push it to both 2.6.25 and 2.6.26 trees. It should apply safely to the 2.6.25 with a minor fuzz warning only. drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c | 13 +++++++++++-- 1 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c b/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c index 62b58a6..50ea7bd 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c @@ -1252,11 +1252,20 @@ int rt2x00lib_suspend(struct rt2x00_dev *rt2x00dev, pm_message_t state) exit: /* - * Set device mode to sleep for power management. + * Set device mode to sleep for power management, + * on some hardware this call seems to consistently fail. + * From the specifications it is hard to tell why it fails, + * and if this is a "bad thing". + * Overall it is safe to just ignore the failure and + * continue suspending.
