For those who asked, the modules are "backported" from compat-wireless http://linuxwireless.org.
This is code that will go into newer versions of the Linux kernel, which will then go into newer versions of Ubuntu. The upstream developers disabled power management on iwlagn some time after 2.6.30 because it was buggy. It was only recently re-enabled, after the problems was fixed. This did not make it into 2.6.31 and is therefore not in karmic's kernel. My guess is that the changes are too intrusive to backport into the default kernel iwlagn.
