OK. The strage thing here is, that I wouldn't expect switching the power
management off to survive a reboot. (Not that I have tested it.) If you
"sudo iwconfig wlan0", is power management still "off" or back "on"?

Well, it appears to be either AP specific, or perhaps could be specific
to the silicon revision of the bcm4329 chip on individual Wandboards, I
suppose. Bottom line, I don't really know. I'm not really familiar with
how the power management protocol works, except that there seems to be
some sort of handshaking between the wlan interface and AP over it. 

Did you ever have the wireless interface working on your particular WB
before disabling the wifi power management, either with an earlier CSOS
image or another image? I guess before specualting any further on this,
need an answer to that question and also whether the disable power
management survives a reboot.
