I like this, just one comment: > + * @max_sleep_interval: the maximum number of beacon intervals to sleep for > + * before checking the beacon for a TIM bit (managed mode only); this > + * value will be only achievable between DTIM frames, the hardware > + * needs to check for the multicast traffic bit in DTIM beacons. > + * This variable is valid only when the CONF_PS flag is set. I would prefer to call it max_sleep_period. Or maybe even wakeup period, because it's about waking up here. For me interval, for example beacon interval, means that the unit is TU. But this might be just me. -- 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
