I am absolutely certain that one needs a base station to do power saving on 802.11 WaveLAN cards from Lucent. Power savings must be *enabled* by the client driver. But they require the cooperation of a base station. I have this directly from two independent contacts at Lucent, from the commercial Lucent Linux driver source files, and from my own personal tests. (I ported the Linux driver to FreeBSD, but wpaul committed his non-Linux-based, prettier driver before I could commit mine.) -Brad, karp@eecs.harvard.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
