I believe, in wl12xx or p54 chipsets, Rx engine is always awake eventhough power save might have been enabled. But with Atheros, it is completely shut off. Hence I had to use a flag in order to avoid disturbing the other drivers. Without the flag,it may end up in increasing the average power consumption for other drivers.
