Why the "%"$! would adapting the powerlevel have anything to do with
the number of wakeups generated!?!
I hope someone can explain this reasonably, 'cause I sure as hell
wouldn't believe this to be related...
(or, in other words, why is the driver/hardware this incredibly B0RKEN
and how can it be fixed?)

Could it be that the card firmware is severely misbehaving in case there
was no initial powerlevel call done by the driver on startup?

Thanks,
