Hello. I've got a system with a Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9287
Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) in it. I've tried to enable
power management/power saving for it, but powertop reports that the card is
still using about 9~10 watts.

So far, I've enabled power saving for the ath9k module and it doesn't seem
to work. I also tried: iw dev power_save on and iwconfig reports that Power
Management is on, but powertop still reports that the card is using around
9 watts:
506.7 pkts/s Device Network interface: wlp5s0 (ath9k) 9.97 W.

powertop also reports the same thing even if I'm not connected to a
network.

Just so I understand, when using modprode with ath9k, passing 1 would
enable parameters and 0 would disable them, correct?

This is what I have enabled now:

/sys/module/ath9k/parameters/blink:0
/sys/module/ath9k/parameters/bt_ant_diversity:1
/sys/module/ath9k/parameters/btcoex_enable:1
/sys/module/ath9k/parameters/nohwcrypt:0
/sys/module/ath9k/parameters/ps_enable:1

kernel version: 4.2.3-1-ARCH

Let me know if there's more information that I need to include.
Thanks.
