It seems it only hurts power consumption somewhat. And I just implemented waiting today too. Although Bob has a point, we could change the way we pass the DTIM period to the driver, only pass it in the powersave callbacks, and then we could associate without it and just enable powersave only after receiving a beacon. That assumes that drivers don't use it for anything else though, of course, but I don't see anything else you could use it for really. johannes
