Package: laptop-mode-tools
Version: 1.71-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
When using the wireless-power module (with its config-file unmodified), it
fails to enable wireless powersavings. When running with debugging enabled,
and when running the borked internal command manually:
> sudo iw dev wlan0 set txpower fixed
it shows:
> Missing TX power level argument.
When I manually run the command with an added parameter, e.g.:
> sudo iw dev wlan0 set txpower fixed 1
and then check the result with:
> sudo iw dev wlan0 info
it shows the updated value OK. Note that the lowest value it accepts in my
case is 1, not 0.
This has been fixed (actually, avoided) upstream with the following sequence
of commits:
https://github.com/rickysarraf/laptop-mode-tools/commit/3644486a9ee4fda7887fa0ecf224e66c4d12a0d2
https://github.com/rickysarraf/laptop-mode-tools/commit/791191702b91f7e23b280f35e292869631f5ba22
https://github.com/rickysarraf/laptop-mode-tools/commit/9ca191ff3e5b002f759d69435f14c7f54020085f
Namely, they use:
> iw dev wlan0 set power_save [on/off]
and *no* txpower settings if "iw" is available, falling back to the old
txpower commands with iwconfig (and fixed a variable typo in the test).
So it would be good if upstream's new way of running the two commands could
be backported as a Debian patch while we wait for upstream to make the next
release for packaging. For that purpose I attached a diff by merging the
relevant parts of the above 3 commits (note it is the diff that should be
turned into a Debian patch, not a diff for creating the debian patch itself).
