Re: [Madwifi-users] Probable source of noise in laptop affecting madwifi

[Gerald B. <gbr...@do...>]

On my Thinkpad T40p, madwifi loses if the laptop does powersavings by
ACPI C-states.  This happens if the "processor" acpi driver is loaded, or
if the bios is set to do some of the auto powermanagement settings.  If you
have it set to do Automatic or a lower speed on battery, the bios does honor
this in APM mode and will make madwifi often lose on battery.  Disabling
this made it work mostly ok.
