Could you try this experimental patch?Hi, on top of kernel 3.9.4 (with TuxOnIce patch), iwconfig wlan0 power on now saves more than 1 W on my ThinkPad X61s with iwl4965. I can finally switch to a recent kernel. Thanks a lot.This patch stuck on mailing list far too long, I'll post it. Even if it crash firmware on 3945, power save is disabled by default.Ok! The patch was not forgotten, just indefinitely delayed :/ Now that I can compile a kernel in 10 minutes instead of >1h, I'll try to test it :)
Leaving the computer running for 24h gave no signs of any kind of issues, besides a few AP timeout after 500ms. If you wish me to further test more patches, please do include me in CC. However, my access to the 3945 hardware is now very reduced, so I'll probably take several weeks to test the patches, if at all. Thank you for your patience, time and code since my first half-made debugging of the HW scan crash in the iwl3945 firmware :) -- Pedro
