Hi Andrew,

If I remember correctly, a patch was applied that would "power save" a
wireless card. The 2100bg/2200bg/39xx cards were waking up too often, via
interrupt. Then, power on the card, poll for activity, i.e. network
detection, ssid name or roam activity and then end the code.  I believe that
this was a patch to  kernel 2.6.22+ and greater.

Please don't take this as gospel but I remember seeing an article for power
saving  under LINUX  attached devices.
