Madwifi and Network Manager

[Andrey Melentyev]

I do not use Network Manager.

But my WiFi PCMCIA adapter causes many wakeups even when there is no
network traffic. I've got a D-Link DWL-G630 on Atheros chip. It works
with madwifi-ng driver. And it is on the top of the wakeups list:

  56,3% (251,3)       <interrupt> : yenta, wifi0

Any suggestions on reducing the number of wakeups? Will power saving
options from iwconfig work with madwifi-ng driver?
