[Madwifi-devel] How to enable power management [Updated]

[Martin S. <cse...@se...>]

Dear all, sorry for sending this again but this is important to us and
maybe you missed it ;-)

I went through the mailing list archive. It seems that for a long time
power management has been available on the "station side" (cf post from
Sam Leffler on 2004-06-30 15:24). Unfortunately I cannot get it to work.
Here is my config.
 2 laptops running Ubuntu
Latest madwifi from svn
Latest wireless tools
Linksys WPC55AG 802.11 cards

I setup one laptop as an access point (AP)
I setup the other as a client (STA)

When I try to turn on Power Management using iwpriv ath1 power auto I get
"Operation not supported"
When I measure power consumption on the STA, uding a shunt and an
oscilloscope, I see when the card is in transmit mode, receive mode, but
even with no traffic at all, I don't see the "sleep mode" of the STA card.

Can anyone (Sam Leffer would be great ;-)  Help

[Update]
We went into the code and we were unable to find the location where in
if_ath.c the ic->ic_caps is updated using IEEE80211_C_PMGT.

Thanks
