Re: >10W idle power usage on framework laptop 12th gen 13inch


From your dmesg:

  iwx0 at pci6 dev 0 function 0 "Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX210" rev 0x1a, msix

if you read the end of man page for iwx you'll see:

  This driver does not support powersave mode.
Ah.

I guess that's a failure to read man page. Thank you.

I've tested disabling the port in BIOS saves me significant power vs an unloaded driver but I have a little more testing to do to see if it's actually fully powered down or not when I do that. 10W is quite a bit.
