There was a problem hiding this comment. I'd prefer to phrase the deduction differently: “If you want to use the functionality of tlp-rdw, you need NetworkManager. You can install it with ...”. "Please read the Void instructions (link below) before installing"_ |

|
||
| sudo xbps-install NetworkManager | ||

| To complete the installation you must enable TLP's service(s): :: | ||
|
|
||
| sudo ln -s /etc/sv/tlp /var/service | ||
|
|
||
| *For version 1.9 and newer* with tlp-pd, additionally: :: | ||

||
|
|
||
| sudo ln -s /etc/sv/tlp-pd /var/service | ||
|
|
||
| Using the :doc:`/settings/rdw` (tlp-rdw) requires NetworkManager package and its service running. | ||
|
|
||
| Before enabling the NetworkManager service using the command below, | ||
| please read the `Void Linux installation documentation - NetworkManager <https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/network/networkmanager.html>`_. | ||
| There are a few steps required to get NetworkManager working properly. :: | ||

| sudo ln -s /etc/sv/NetworkManager /var/service | ||

| Legacy ThinkPads only: External Kernel Module for Battery Care | ||
| -------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| .. important:: | ||
|
|
||
| Void Linux (at the time of writing) provides kernel 6.18 (linux) or 6.12 (linux-lts). | ||
| In combination with TLP 1.5 or newer this enables full battery care support | ||
| (i.e. charge thresholds and recalibration) for ThinkPads from the `Sandy Bridge` | ||
| generation (2011) onwards. | ||
|
|
||
| **An external kernel module (also referred to as "out-of-tree" module) | ||
| is not required in this case, and the following steps are not necessary. | ||
| However, if your model is from the `Sandy Bridge` generation (2011) or older, | ||
| read on.** | ||
|
|
||
| Only if the bottom of the output of :command:`tlp-stat -b`, section 'Recommendations', | ||
| shows the line | ||
|
|
||
| .. code-block:: none | ||
|
|
||
| Install tp-smapi kernel modules for ThinkPad battery thresholds and recalibration | ||
|
|
||
| then install the approriate package with the command :: | ||
|
|
||
| sudo xbps-install tp_smapi-dkmsk | ||
|

There was a problem hiding this comment. Is the package name "tp_smapi-dkmsk" really correct or a typo? |
||
|
|
||
| .. note:: | ||
|
|
||
| * You must disable Secure Boot to use the ThinkPad specific packages | ||

If I understand the official documentation correctly, Void has a rolling release scheme. This means that there are no longer any TLP packages < 1.9, and the whole case distinction for 1.9 can be dropped, which would make the instructions more straightforward.
