The newer single chip hardware family of chipsets have not been experiencing issues with power saving set by default with recent fixes merged (even into stable). The remaining issues are only reported with AR5416 and since enabling PS by default can increase power savings considerably best to take advantage of that feature as this has been tested properly. For more details on this issue see the bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14267 We leave AR5416 with PS disabled by default, that seems to require some more work.
