Well, if the _suspend() and _resume() semantics are actually implemented in kernel or userspace is another question. I would say, it should be possible to defer it to userspace, after the userspace MLME stuff is done. But that does not really matter here to get my point. My point is: ieee80211 subsystem should provide functions which save/restore the whole state of the stack (Well, the state of running connections and associations ,actually). How these functions are implemented internally is another matter. But I would also say that it sounds sane to put these semantics into userspace, in the long term. > Any news on the power management specifications ? No. I think I will start another attempt to measure the power consumption of the card, soon. Maybe this time I will be able to figure out the meaning of the PS bits :) I think I forgot to set important bits last time I checked. -- Greetings Michael. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
