iw is 0.9.22, but I just found part of the answer myself. Controlling PS in IBSS mode is not supported (I failed to mention the IBSS part in my previous mail). Question: Is any power saving going on in IBSS mode at all? I'm seeing lots of Probe-Requests that I thought were related to PS. -- Regards Joerg ----- Ursprüngliche Message ----- > Von: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > An: Joerg Pommnitz <pommnitz@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: "linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "ath5k-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <ath5k-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Gesendet: 13:33 Donnerstag, 20.Oktober 2011 > Betreff: Re: ath5k: controlling powersave with iw or iwconfig fails > > Which iw version? > > - Sedat - > > On Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 1:19 PM, Joerg Pommnitz <pommnitz@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: >> Hello all, >> trying to disable PS on ath5k (Linux 3.0) gives: >> >> iw dev wlan0 set power_save off >> command failed: Operation not supported (-95) >> >> >> Is there any special magic required to disable power saving? >> It seems to interfere with our amplifier... >> >> >> -- >> Regards >> Joerg >> >> -- >> 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 >> > -- 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
