None of the WLAN cards support PCF. They are 'PCF-aware' which means
that can decode PCF frames and update their NAV accordingly but they
can't really respond to a PCF-Poll or any other PCF frame.

In fact, none of the APs support PCF. I don't know where you got your
info but since PCF was an optional part of the standard almost no one
bothered to implement it. There were a couple of devices early on that
did have some rudimentary support for PCF but since no one was using
it the next versions were DCF-only.
