Comment (by pthagonal):
I also strongly disagree with the classification of this issue as "minor".
I believe that power management and the ability to save energy is _very_
important. What's "minor" about wasting?! Just to give you an idea:
powertop indicates that more than half (!) of the causes for wakeups,
which result in increased power consumption, are due to wifi0 interrupts.
More specifically, the top causes for wakeups result in about 21.5
wakeups-per-second, and 14.5 of those are due to wifi.
I suggest supporting the iwconfig ath0 power on call with version 1.0, at
the latest. Any chances? ;-)
