Hi

I updated gsmd to enable the deep sleep.
This is done by copy-pasting the "ti" vendor profile and modifying
"AT%SLEEP=2" by "AT%SLEEP=4" into a new "ti-deepsleep" profile.

So, how to update ?
If you are using the WIP repositories, you can apt-get update and
install gsmd.
If you are using the rev5 repos, download and install (or extract)
http://build.hackable1.org/debian/dists/wip/main/binary-armel/gsmd_0.0.2+svn1571-1_armel.deb

After that, edit /etc/default/gsmd and uncomment the
"VENDOR=ti-deepsleep" line: this will add a "-v ti-deepsleep" to the
deamon command line. Restart gsmd.

(I wanted to provide a gsmd-deepsleep package to replace the gsmd
package but did not find a clean way to do it well)


Tell me how it goes :) Here, after 9 hours, there still was 80% of the
battery remaining ; after 18h, still 60%. That means >45h battery life \o/
