I'm not sure. Suspending the chip means you lose things like link beat detection, so it's not something you necessarily want to automatically tie to something like interface status. Some chips support more fine-grained power management, so we could do something more sensible in that case - but right now, there doesn't seem to be a lot of driver support for it. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
