+Enable or disable power management on a given interface. Enabling
+power management uses an alternating sleep/wake protocol to help
+conserve power on mobile stations, at the cost of some increased
+receive latency. Power management is off by default. Note that power
+management requires the cooperation of an access point in order to
+function; it is not functional in ad-hoc mode. Also, power management
+is only implemented in Lucent WavePOINT firmware version 2.03 or
+later, and in WaveLAN PCMCIA adapter firmware 2.00 or later. Older
+revisions will silently ignore the power management setting. Legal
+values for this parameter are 0 (off) and 1 (on).
