Maemo system does not use suspend mode, so basically this patch is only for "power" users who manually set n900 to suspend.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v53 in Extras Testing
 

Please vote for packages so they can be moved to Extras:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....28-10power53/
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....28-10power53/
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....28-10power53/
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....28-10power53/
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....28-10power53/

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v53 in Extras Testing
 

Also fiasco-image-update-ask needs votes becase kernel-power depends on it:

It did not take long ;)

But this one needs one or two more ...

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v53 in Extras Testing
 

Next time, can we try to encourage people to "test" the packages rather than just "vote" for them.

I know it's Pali and there's probably nothing wrong with his packages but there is a QA procedure to follow. Otherwise we might as well do away Extra-testing and allow developers to promote packages directly to Extras.

There is the problem that there aren't many testers nowadays so perhaps we need to organise more testing marathons and/or make more users super-testers.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v53 in Extras Testing
 

Well said I couldn't agree more.

I started trying to push package promotion a while back but it took forever to get each package promoted, I was posting to myself most of the time, so the thread slowly died.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v53 in Extras Testing
 

Just what I meant here.
Regarding the kp packages there are at least 5 persons that I would trust blindly (me included ;)), so voting means testing here.

But I also agree the wording 'voting' is totally misleading regarding the original meaning of testing/confirming working state of the package.
Where does this wording come from?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v53 in Extras Testing
 

Can somebody else do tests of (fixed) packet injection drivers for normal usage (also power usage, etc)? Now Ad-Hoc (IBSS) mode should be fixed. I'm using only packet injection drivers and for more that half of year everything working fine... So now I'm starting thinking about removing original wl1251 drivers from kernel and provides only packet injection drivers in kernel-power-modules package... What do you think about it?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v53 in Extras Testing
 

What kind of tests you would like us to do?
I know (erm, knew) only about power consumption problem when having injection drivers enabled and leaving range of wireless network.
What about ad-hoc mode? Never tried with that driver.

What would be the benefit to dismiss original driver? (Saving a few bits on rootfs (modules already on /opt), or?)
For sure a few here will run into problems when using cleven, faircrack and so on...

I am open to it and will enable injection capable drivers only to see
