Folks...
I just added a `powersave' command to ifconfig(8) so that you can
manipulate power management parameters of 802.11 devices. This was
something you could already do with wiconfig(8) but:
(1) ifconfig(8) is what /etc/rc uses, etc.
(2) It's specified by 802.11, so other cards may
support it.
I've modified the wi(4) driver to understand it. People with other
card types, you'll want to investigate support in your cards.
