Advanced Power Management

Driver Support

Advanced power management is supported in the following LSS 5.0 drivers :

ODI Client driver for DOS - MADGEODI.COM
ODI Client driver for OS/2 - MADGEODI.SYS
NDIS2 driver for DOS - MDGND.DOS
NDIS2 driver for OS/2 - MDGND.OS2

Under Windows 95 and Windows NT, power management is a function of the operating system and not the individual driver. When a PC enters a power-saving mode, the operating system asks the driver to shut itself down, and when power is restored the system loads the driver again. Hence, there is no specific power management support in Madge drivers for these operating systems.

Note that Smart Software (SMART.EXE and .SMT modules) does not support power management.
