Package: powersaved
Version: 0.14.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Currently, powersaved has ipw2200 in a suspend blacklist, and it is
removed from kernel space before suspend and reinserted after resume. I
believe this is needlessly causing headaches for the end user, as
ipw2200 has supported suspend/resume since upstream version 1.0.5, or
any version in mainline linux >=2.6.15 iirc.
The forceful removal/reinsertion only serves to break any meaningful
wireless link the ipw2200 device had established at the time of suspend,
and would require all users to setup some hooks to restart networking.
As the ipw2200 supported hardware is quite common, and next debian
release will most certainly come with a recent version of the module
that behaves well w.r.t to suspend, I'd like to request that it is no
longer blacklisted by powersaved.
Patch is attached.
Thanks, Kel.
