Basically it\nmeans enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it\ndynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low\nlatency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some\nrequire the host to do it.\n\nThe dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to\nieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace\nwith Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the\ndynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms:\n\niwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m\n\nPower save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware.\nIt\u0027s also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is\nconsidered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle.\nIn case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature\nwith IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS.\n\nBig thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.\n\nSigned-off-by: Kalle Valo \u003ckalle.valo@nokia.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Johannes Berg \u003cjohannes@sipsolutions.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: John W.
