225 The IPW2100 supports the configuration of the Power Save Protocol

232 	1-5	Different levels of power management.  The higher the
233 		number the greater the power savings, but with an impact to
237 Power management works by powering down the radio after a certain
240 period of time.  For higher power savings, the interval between last
247 while power management is enabled.  If this is the case, you will need
248 to try and find a firmware update for your AP, or disable power

251 To configure the power level on the IPW2100 you use a combination of
252 iwconfig and iwpriv.  iwconfig is used to turn power management on, off,
256 	iwconfig eth1 power off    Disables radio power down
257 	iwconfig eth1 power on     Enables radio power management to
259 	iwpriv eth1 set_power 0    Sets power level to AUTO and enables
260 				   power management if not previously
