We might also not even be associated, so I don't think this is right.
sure i'll fix it. i think i'll just refactor this code to ieee80211_recalc_ps_vif() that will do the recalc-and-notify-if-changed instead of duplicating it each time.
I also wonder if ieee80211_recalc_ps() should use vif.bss_conf.ps instead of calling powersave_allowed() itself?
i think we should better keep them decoupled. this way we can change the per-vif functionality without affecting the legacy per-device one. Eliad.
