WL1837MOD: ELP disable

Part Number: WL1837MOD

i want to turn off the ELP mode what is the best option.

i followed below commands:

              iw wlan0 set power_save off

              echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/wlcore/sleep_auth ( is this required ..?)

what is the importance of second command.? is it mandatory. or else can you suggest some other method where i can permanently turn off the powersave mode or ELP. problem is second commands path changes every time I reload the driver (phy0 changes to phy1 and to phy2....). do suggest some better method.

Regards,

  • Hi,

    'echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/wlcore/sleep_auth' is needed to disable ELP. 

    In case you want to permanently disable ELP , you may use wlconf utility to set this variable to 0 in wl18xx-conf.bin

    ./wlconf -i /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl18xx-conf.bin -o /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl18xx-conf.bin -s core.conn.sta_sleep_auth=0

    Thanks
