After it, closing note should bring your laptop into suspend or shutdown or whatewer you set. But the question is - does your centrino laptop support suspend to ram? Try 'acpiconf -s 3' to test this. Or maybe your have acpi4bios=1 (look for this sysctl value)? I think this is the only way to test if your laptop fully supported on freebsd or not :) I'm sure intel wireless nic would work as well as the wired one, but acpi... Would your mind to drop me a line after your experiments? I'm interesting with centrino on freebsd but have no suitable laptop (mine one is just a p4-mobile, not centrino) PN> You are thinking about hw.acpi.cpu.throttle_state, isnit?... Sure, AFAIK cpu frequency scaling doesn't supported yet so the best you can do is to put cpu into sleep for periods of time using throttle states. -- Best regards, Toxa mailto:postfix@sendmail.ru
