Public bug reported:
Nwetwork Manager sets Power Management:off in iwconfig by default.
It can be changed per connection by adding powersave=1.
In 14.04 powersave was set on by default and could be disabled per connection.
That seemed to be reasonable.
If the default has been changed for some reason, it is better to make a NM
global setting.
It is not handy to change every connection manually, and most users will not be
able to do it.
After upgrade to 16.04 power consumption will increase.
It is also funny that pm-tools set powersave on, but NM reverts this
setting.
