Hi Yuchung,<br>
Please note that as per Section 14.5.5.9.1 of IEEE std 802.11, 1999 Edition<br>
"This primitive is used by the higher-layer entities to manage or control
the power consumption of the PMD when not in use. This allows higher-layer
entities to put the radio into a sleep or standby mode when receipt or sending
of any data is not expected."<br>
<br>
Correct me if I am wrong.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Jeetendra<br>

<pre wrap="">hi,
i just started setting up an AP on an old compaq pc
and i kept getting the system goes to "suspend" or "sleep"
mode.
when that happens, all wireless clients are not reachable.
the wireless network just crippled. :(
anyone got a suggestion for this problem?
i'm looking into the kernel ACPI options now,
and the compaq bios to disable power saving.
any possible chance if i shld try "cardctl resume" ??
i'll only get to access the old pc again on coming Saturday,
so now i'm collecting all possible solution(s). :)
glad for any input from anyone. thanks in advance! ;)
cheers,
Yanghwee.
