As sephe answered, power save support is a requirement of every AP;
there's no way to turn it off.

You've provided no information about your setup.  A while back there was
a bug in the ath driver in the handling of packets dispatched in ap mode
to stations using power save.  But since then I've heard of no s/w issues.
