Scripts laying in /etc/network/if* works only for phases up and
down.
I can confirm this, and have reported it as a second bug here:

Scripts laying in /etc/network/if* works only for phases up and down.
I need to use phase pre-up for setting the wireless mode and rate of device.
I know that the rate can be set also in phase up but not mode for madwifi as
it uses iwpriv for achieving this.
test script laying in all
nm-applet calls the /etc/network/*.d scripts, so we can turn off txpower
there.
copy the attached script to i.e. /etc/network/custom and link to
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wlan_tx and /etc/network/if-post-down.d/wlan_tx :
sudo -s
mkdir /etc/network/custom
cp wlan_tx /etc/network/custom
ln -s
With a right-click on nm-applet I can disable and enable wireless.
Completely disabling the wireless card, which is afaik equivalent to
iwconfig txpower off seems the right thing to do when the user turns off
wireless. The advantage of this would be reduced power consumption and
electromagnetic

network manager approach is zero-configuration ... allowing to configure
wireless options would be against that principle.

Marking as wishlist. We'll have to wait for upstream on this.

Just a sidenote.
network-manager uses libiw (Wireless Tools libs) for functionality. Iwconfig is
part of Wireless Tools (wireless-tools package).
I guess for power-level association will require some changes to the
battery applet or any power saving tool.

Wow, these are really way complex wishlist. I recommend opening up power
management wishlists on the kernel, as well as upstream.
Rejecting because there is multiple issues and badly framed, at that.

Hi,
I'm not clear on why this was a complex wishlist. Also, I'm unsure
why this would become a kernel wishlist.
The txpower directive is something that is already supported in Ubuntu
Dapper's default networking infrastructure. I was just submitting a
request that it be supported using
Sorry, I was confusing both comments.
Configuring iwconfig options is not within the scope of NetworkManager.
It, in fact, does not even use iwconfig. Asking for that is a bit of a
catch-all, and doesn't really come a feature point. (Imaginary
response from upstream: if you want to call iwconfig,
I am also using network manager in Dapper.
I am in an environment where I need to specify which AP to use, as the
one with the best link quality is overused, but I haven't found a way to
set this in networkmanager.
Obviously a mean to send/specify parameters to be used will be handy.
