Agreed the timer thing is ugly and should stay in the driver, provided it survives stress testing. But the mc/bc check Ivo suggested as part of his RFC patch is already on the mac80211 TODO list because of ath9k (ath_beacon_dtim_pending_cab()): http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/todo-list#power_saving I'm not sure if the mac80211 changes suggested by Ivo would work for ath9k (and carl9170 which also has a similar check). Maybe someone could comment on that.
