Sorry, i wasn't precise enough. In fact the module is not unloaded but is bound/unbound. The effect is the same, according to Werner. >> I just have to avoid suspend though. Are you sure?

Essentially when the device is suspended, the wifi module is unpowered, so every time the device is resumed, the driver is "restarted" and so is the module. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
