This causes trouble with at least one wireless chipset (Ralink RT3572). When the hardware is not sleeping and we send a wakeup command (e.g. this happens after a scan) then a significant decrease of the link quality or a disconnect may occur. Disabling power save mode only when it was enabled prevents this issue. Signed-off-by: Ronald Wahl Reviewed-by: Gertjan van Wingerde Signed-off-by: John W.
