In kernel 2.6.30, iwlwifi reports its power level like this:

# cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:03:00.0/power_level
SYSTEM:auto     MODE:fixed      INDEX:5

... instead of returning a single number.  powertop 1.11 can't deal
with this because it expects a single char.  Consequently, powertop
endlessly suggests that I need to adjust the wireless power saving
level.

Perhaps it would be possible to get the wireless power saving
configuration from iwconfig instead of from sysfs.
