Sorry, I _had_ to fix the ieee80211_beacon_loss() interface ;) Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I did some quick measurements and with these patches I was able get 25% system power consumption decrease with stlc45xx on Nokia N800 in the wlan idle case (associated to the AP, no data traffic, display off). I'll do more measurements later. -- Kalle Valo -- 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
