iwconfig power on is not implemented by mac80211 yet. There was one
patch posted that implements it.
I wanted to expand it but  wireless_tools 29 has a bug in parsing this
command. It is fixed only in 30.pre6 which is usually not in distros.

Heh, fun. Time for putting that into cfg80211 instead if nobody can use
it with wext anyway?

I've planned to but I waited for some API design suggestions  you guys
will come from OLS but I didn't get much input.

This particular thing I don't remember talking about except that we
want, when powersave is on, be able to select the powersaving level
based on information applications attach to their sockets, rather than
requiring the user to make a guess.

PS setting is rather global NIC state and should be set as user
preference rather then per application ... socket. If I understand
correctly what you mean by application.
What user actually selects is performance/power consumption trade off.
