What about all of us that run their distributions off the mmc card? In such cases, removing ar6000.ko wont really help much since the clock would keep running.
Is it at all possible to cut power to the WLAN module while the s3cmci.ko is inserted or is that a hardware implementation we need to live with? Which would mean that a distribution running off the NAND flash would be (currently) better at power consumption. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Isn%27t-Wifi-supposed-to-be-off-by-default--tp2154678p2166445.html Sent from the Openmoko Kernel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
