The IPW2100 supports the configuration of the Power Save Protocol

=== ===========================================================
|
||||
|

Power management works by powering down the radio after a certain
|

interval of time has passed where no packets are passed through the
|

radio. Once powered down, the radio remains in that state for a given

Power management works by powering down the radio after a certain

interval of time has passed where no packets are passed through the

|
||||
period of time. For higher power savings, the interval between last
|
||||
packet processed to sleep is shorter and the sleep period is longer.
|
||||
|
||||
When the radio is asleep, the access point sending data to the station
|
||||
must buffer packets at the AP until the station wakes up and requests
|
||||
any buffered packets. If you have an AP that does not correctly support
|
||||
the PSP protocol you may experience packet loss or very poor performance
|
||||
while power management is enabled. If this is the case, you will need
|
||||
to try and find a firmware update for your AP, or disable power
|
