Bug#506195: /usr/bin/mlnet: consume too much power when idle (20 wakeups/second)

[Xavier Bestel <xavier.bestel@free.fr>]

Package: mldonkey-server
Version: 2.9.5-2
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/mlnet


Hi,

I'm running mlnet on my computer, sometimes bittorrent is enabled but most of the
time only the http/ftp network is enabled, and mlnet doesn't have anything to do.
But in powertop mlnet does 20 wakeup/second on my machine. It shouldn't.

Thanks,

	Xav
