Package: powertop Version: 1.10-2 Severity: normal powertop gives me this suggestion even when my wireless is disabled via the hardware kill switch:
Suggestion: Enable wireless power saving mode by executing the following command: echo 5 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0b:00.0/power_level This will sacrifice network performance slightly to save power. Q - Quit R - Refresh W - Enable wireless power saving Ideally it would recognise that the wireless device is already off: # cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0b:00.0/power_level 6 (AC) OFF Obviously changing the power level doesn't work when it is powered off with the hardware kill switch. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages powertop depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncursesw5 5.6+20080830-1 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages powertop suggests: ii cpufrequtils 004-2 utilities to deal with the cpufreq pn laptop-mode-tools <none> (no description available) -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
