This is why we have currently implemented in iwlwif sysfs. /sys/class/net/wlanX/devices/power_level there are defined 6 power levels 0 - CAM mode (Continuous Aware Mode) 6 - AUTO 1 to 5 levels that specifies power save aggressiveness empirically developed. AUTO - depends on system power source/level system power level is AC or BATTERY - currently we do not have anything that tells us whether we run on battery or ac. Other factor is association state. This can be expressed as iwconfig power saving 1..5 iwconfig power off - > CAM mode iwconfig power auto - this is unfortunately not defined by iwconfig If this acceptable we can submit the patch Thanks Tomas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
