From: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@xxxxxxxxx> we see from http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2125 that power saving does not work well on 3945. Since then power saving has also been connected with association problems where an AP deathenticates a 3945 after it is unable to transmit data to it - this happens when 3945 enters power savings mode. Disable power save support until issues are resolved.
