I have similar problem: I am unable to turn off the wireless device in feisty.
If it is not configured it insists on being in roaming-mode and keeps
transmitting.
The activity shows up in the system-monitor applet, and can be followed in the
TX-line in ifconfig.
iwconfig ra0 power off did not work for me. My device has the following info in
lspci:
00:0a.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01)
Subsystem: Unknown device 1948:3c02
Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 32, IRQ 20
Memory at ee000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
