Are hints properly cycled?

[Sune Mølgaard]

Attempting to save power on my gf's laptop, I am now running 
powertop-1.7, consistently showing the hint about enabling wireless 
power saving.

However, for reasons unknown to me, that specific laptop does have 
trouble to maintain a network connection at certain places in our flat, 
and even more so when powersaving is on.

Thus, I hesitate to enable powersaving, but wonder if other hints are 
"in line to be shown", but are waiting for the wifi powersaving to be 
enabled...

Also, I wonder if it would be desirable to keep a preferences file, to 
store settings for suppressing certain hints (of course with an option 
to reset to no suppression), such that one can disable the showing of 
hints that are known to have an adverse effect on overall performance.

Best regards,

Sune Mølgaard
