I want it turned on by default, at least in wireless-testing; Kalle
thinks that we should turn it off for a .31 release.

I would think that since an easy workaround is available ("iwconfig
wlan0 power off") and it doesn't affect most hardware yet anyway (only
those supporting powersave) we should turn it on by default anyway,
since otherwise we won't find any bugs -- but maybe that's just me.
