Can someone comment on whether or not Station PS-mode is supported by
madwifi?

I can't find anything in the user docs section of madwifi.org.

I also checked the latest code in trunk (r3862) , and found that the
function ieee80211_ioctl_siwpower() in ieee80211_wireless.c checks the
capability IEEE80211_C_PMGT and returns -EOPNOTSUPP if the capability is
not set.

There's also a comment just before this check:

/* XXX: These values, flags, and caps do not seem to be used elsewhere
 * at all? */

I also checked if_ath.c, and it looks like IEEE80211_C_PMGT is *never* set.

Thanks,
/tony
