Hi all

I'm trying to modify e1000 driver for power saving.

The e1000 driver doesn't let the power down when running ifdown command.
So, I set to the D3hot state of a PCI device at the end of e1000_close().

With this modification, e1000 driver reduces power by ifdown
to the same level as link-down case.

I spoke it in Collaboration Summit 2009.
For details and result of power measurement,
please refer the 36-38 page of following document.
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/archive/lfcs09_ooiwa.pdf

Could you please check the my patch ?

Should I consider WOL ?
Dosen't E1000_PCI_POWER_SAVE need ?


Hi Vaidy

I was glad that you talked to me in Collaboration Summit.
I'm sorry for sending the patch so late.

I found a bug in the patch which I used in Collaboration Summit.
Sometimes, it's don't work to auto-negotiation by repeated ifup and ifdown.

I fixed it. I'd appreciate it if you could test.


Thanks you.
