Realtek has never been good at writing clear module parameter descriptions. My current working version has the following:

MODULE_PARM_DESC(swenc, "Set to 1 for software crypto (default 0)\n");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(ips, "Set to 0 to not use link power save (default 1)\n");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(swlps, "Set to 1 to use SW control power save (default 0)\n");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(fwlps, "Set to 1 to use FW control power save (default 1)\n");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(msi, "Set to 1 to use MSI interrupts mode (default 1)\n");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(debug, "Set debug level (0-5) (default 0)");

In other words, link power save is ON by default, firmware power control is also ON, and software power control is off.

My test computer refuses to hibernate or suspend, thus I have not tested "standby", whatever that means. In fact, in the days preceeding the closing of changes for 3.16, I was so busy trying to provide help for the Lenovo T440s users, and getting the code into the kernel that I barely had time for testing.

I am afraid that someone else will need to test and debug these problems.
