Good to hear. > Until you want to run yum. Or download something from Firefox, > wget or Browse.xo. We should be waking on LAN activity. Could you file a bug with a testcase that results in the laptop staying in suspend when it should be in the middle of a download? Maybe Marvell can help us find out what's up. > Do we have a workaround for that? The commandline tools could be > sorted with a "nosuspend" wrapper. Browse.xo and FF are a bit > harder. Agreed on the "nosuspend" wrapper for yum. Whenever we think about telling the system something manually, though, we should also think about whether it's possible for it to infer it automatically; I think that's possible here. You probably don't want the laptop to suspend if you're in the middle of a sustained download, so perhaps we should just teach it what a sustained download looks like. Does anyone have a favorite method for returning the current throughput on an interface? > Long term I guess the use case warrants a periodic wakeup to soak > up the pending packets from the AP (of from the Libertas device > if it's been awake). That's probably easier said than done... Again, or just inhibiting suspend in the first place if the current network transfer rate is significant. We shouldn't need this wakeup, though; the module already knows how to wake us up when there are new packets for us, and should already be doing so.
