power management on the 8686 chipset

[Jeff Sutherland]

Can someone enlighten me as to why there seems to be such a significant 
difference between the Marvell driver for the SD8686 and the libertas driver?  
Or am I just out of date in working with a 2.6.27 kernel?  I need to get 
power management going, especially would like to experiment with IEEE power 
saving and background scanning, plus be able to put the 8686 into deep sleep 
mode via some software mechanism.  (I can't simply power down the module as 
that would kill the bluetooth part that I need to keep alive when out of wifi 
range).  Private ioctls aren't implemented in the 2.6.27 version as in the 
Marvell driver, and iwconfig seems unable to set power modes.  What is it 
that I am missing here?

Regards,
-Jeff
