Description haarp 2012-11-06 15:47:36 UTC
pm-utils installs /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless which is among those scripts executed whenever a laptop switches to battery.
This script checks for /sys/class/net/*/wireless/ to determine whether it sees a wireless interface.
The existence of this depends on CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS. Linux menuconfig warns that this is going to be removed soon and that userspace should be updated.

Comment 3 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-06-04 20:07:05 UTC
The problem with the patch from upstream bug is that this would add extra dependency, to 'wireless-utils', which is also deprecated, in favour of 'iw'

Not sure what to do here :-(
