Here is v3 of my dynamic powersave patches. I have tested them only with stlc45xx on Nokia N810. I'm also working with iwl3945 and iwlagn patches based on these patches, I'll try to send them during this weekend. These are RFC patches, not yet to be applied. Hopefully in next round they are ready. Patch 3 contains a new flag IEEE80211_HW_NO_DYNAMIC_PS. So all drivers which firmware doesn't support dynamic power save should use this flag to enable the feature in mac80211. This is a separate patch just for easier review. If it's ok, I'll fold it to patch 2. Patch 4 moves the dynamic_ps_timeout to ieee80211_conf struct. That way the drivers which have dynamic power save support in firmware can use the same timeout provided by user space. If this ok I'll fold this to patch 2. changes in v3: o add a hw flag to notify that driver doesn't support dynamic power save and which will enable mac80211 implementation o delete dynamic_ps_timer and cancel ps_enable_work during association, hopefully it's race free now o provide timeout value to the drivers, for example iwlwifi should use it (example patch under works) o fix a bad bug in testing IEEE80211_STA_ASSOCIATED flag with && operator TODO: o test with iwlwifi (only in-tree driver using IEEE80211_CONF_PS) o documentation for dynamic_ps_timeout and IEEE80211_HW_NO_DYNAMIC_PS o prefix ieee80211_ps_[enable|disable]_work with _dynamic Power save related features which I'll implement later: o disable power save when software scanning o beacon period (wakeup period) to the drivers, can be set from user space but otherwise is bss's DTIM value I'll add missing features to the wiki tomorrow. -- 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
