Hi,
does anybody know a possibility to reduce the bus master activity during using
the madwifi driver ? In state C2 I need much more power as in state C4.
Can I reject multicast or broadcast packets ? Or can I increase/change the
latency of the madwifi driver. 99% of the time I need only a slow network and
I want to save battery power.
tail /proc/acpi/processor/CPU/power
active state: C2
max_cstate: C8
bus master activity: 00000140
states:
C1: type[C1] promotion[C2] demotion[--] latency[001]
usage[00000010]
*C2: type[C2] promotion[C3] demotion[C1] latency[001]
usage[02575587]
C3: type[C3] promotion[C4] demotion[C2] latency[085]
usage[00174171]
C4: type[C3] promotion[--] demotion[C3] latency[185]
usage[00806775]
Thanks
Nils
