Package: wireless-tools
Version: 29-2
Severity: normal
While trying to experiment with iwconfig, to try to set power level, I
found the following error.
champaran:~# iwconfig eth1

champaran:~# iwconfig eth1 power saving 3
Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) :

The man page says this:
To set the generic level of power saving, enter saving ‘value’.
Example: iwconfig eth0 power saving 3
