Package: laptop-mode-tools
Version: 1.66-2
Severity: normal
The documentation about DISABLE_ETHERNET_ON_BATTERY disagrees about
whether it will choose to disable of the NIC based on carrier status:
In /etc/laptop-mode-tools/conf.d/ethernet.conf, it says:
---------
# In practise, most of the times a user is on battery, she is using the
wireless device
# Under such cases, you might want to disable your ethernet interface
completely, when
# on battery.
#
# Set below setting to 1, to disable ethernet interface when on battery and
# when no carrier is detected on the interface (e.g., no active cable is
# plugged in).
DISABLE_ETHERNET_ON_BATTERY=1
---------
but in laptop-mode.conf(8), it says:
--------
DISABLE_ETHERNET_ON_BATTERY
Set this to 1 if you want to completely disable your ethernet
device when running on battery. Default is 0
--------
In practice, it looks like the manpage is correct, and the comments in
ethernet.conf are wrong.
This is too bad, because it would be nice to avoid disabling the link
when the carrier is still active.
Also, with this flag set (as it is by default, i think), the ethernet
does not get re-enabled after moving back from Battery to AC power.
Perhaps there's a cleanup step that needs to happen as well here?
