Thank you for your quick reply, Gr. AvS. According to my understanding, in power save mode (PSM), the station will go to sleep immediately (i.e. maintaining a very low power) after sending packet with pwr mgt bit in 802.11 mac header setting to 1. My question is if we can force the station to go to such a low power level by calling some function. It seems to me that it costs extra time to disable/enable the radio, right? I hope to do it very quickly. I appreicate your help! Best, Hao
I see. Your question is really about power save, which involves more that the radio. Power save is a process better left to the device so there is no interface in place to force that upon a driver/device.
