Hi!

I want to turn my wireless access point to power save mode.
Unfortunatelly the command: "iwconfig eth1 power period 2" doesn't work.
I have tried the broadcom wl package, but  it doesn't worked properly.
If anybody has idea, please answer.

Thanks.

You know the WRT54GL pulls a grand total of 7 watts when operating, right?  It's really not worth bothering (and I don't know how to do it either)

P.S.  I measured the power consumption using a power meter which also works out costs, and at 13 cents per kilowatt hour it's about 8 dollars a year to run it.

The discussion might have continued from here.
