Alright, the iwlwifi firmware works partially by itself on powersave. It
switches from wake to sleep by looking at the frames and from sleep to
wake by driver/stack notification.

BTW, I've put our iwl4965 AP code at below address. We tested it on
2.6.22 kernel. The code is not very up to date but you can at least get
a working AP with an iwl4965 card.

To install mac80211:

$ cd mac80211
$ make patch_kernel
$ recompile your kernel and modules && install

To compile and run the hostapd:

$ cd hostapd
$ make KSRC=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
$ ./hostapd hostapd.conf

Thanks,
