Which consumes unnecassary power, reducing battery life. I see the
point. Would it make sense to make the time between the link going
down and the device powering off configurable, either as a module
parameter or as a kernel config option? Then one could choose to have
either sensible power management or automatic link detection, if it's
not possible to get both.
Regards, Jens.
