From 8987691a4aa6622a1b58bb12c56abaf3d2098fad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 23:42:50 +0000 Subject: wimax/i2400m: allow control of the base-station idle mode timeout For power saving reasons, WiMAX links can be put in idle mode while connected after a certain time of the link not being used for tx or rx. In this mode, the device pages the base-station regularly and when data is ready to be transmitted, the link is revived. This patch allows the user to control the time the device has to be idle before it decides to go to idle mode from a sysfs interace. It also updates the initialization code to acknowledge the module variable 'idle_mode_disabled' when the firmware is a newer version (upcoming 1.4 vs 2.6.29's v1.3). The method for setting the idle mode timeout in the older firmwares is much more limited and can be only done at initialization time. Thus, the sysfs file will return -ENOSYS on older ones.
