Description of problem: Powertop shows that ipw2200 causes a high number of wakeups even though the wireless interface is not activated (ifconfig shows that it is not active). Wakeups-from-idle per second : 67.6 interval: 5.0s no ACPI power usage estimate available Top causes for wakeups: 62.7% ( 39.4) <interrupt> : ipw2200 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.23.8-63.fc8 The device in question is (lspci output): 0b:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection (rev 05) This is happens right after booting the machine, the corresponding wireless interface is set to NOT be activated at boot time.
I wonder if adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf make any difference? options ipw2200 associate=0 auto_create=0

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still happens in F10.
I do not find this to be the case, even with an active connection. How many wakeups are you calling a lot?
Closing due to lack of response...
