It works adequately. We're not concerned about suspend/hibernate, we're concerned about 802.11 power saving, where the AP is required to buffer frames until the clients wake up again. This will work adequately, but not perfectly, for unicast frames, but we have not found a way of making zd1211 send buffered multicast frames after the DTIM beacon as required. This means that your sleeping clients will not be receiving multicast, and as such be invisible to the network once they fall off the ARP/NDP caches. This is the reason we have said that it will not be possible to support AP mode with this card. I'm curious how, if at all, the vendor driver handles that. johannes
