the broken_powersave variable.
This isn't quite correct. Yes, power saving was enabled there, but
relatively frequently it caused the device to crash. Therefore, it was
disabled as a stability fix, not to remove powersaving from you :)
Hi,
I was aware that it was disabled because of stability issues in certain
setups. I never experienced any issue when running with power saving
enabled, though. Other people did the same and even suggested patches to
clear broken_powersave with a module parameter.
