Why do you think this requires a vendor command? I mean, that seems
like
fairly reasonable - even by default - behaviour?
I have not studied the details, but doesn't AP power save break normal
functionality? For example, I would guess probe requests from clients
would be lost. So there's a major drawback when enabling this, right?
This AP power save feature will not break any functionality, Since one
chain is always active and all other chains will be disabled when this
feature is enabled. AP can still be able to beacon and receive probe
request from the clients. The only drawback is reduced network range
when this feature is enabled. Hence, we don't want to enable it by
default.
