Greetings,
Ever since I installed my MSI-PC54G2 ral(4) PCI card in my OpenBSD 4.3
i386 box running in HostAP mode I've had a weird connectivity issue.
Put simply, connectivity with laptops is very iffy, but desktops are
fine. Symptoms are that connectivity FROM the access point TO the node
is very

Jussi - thanks for the response, but I've tried that to no effect,
e.g. on the Macbook Pro the Energy Saver settings for Mains and
Battery modes are identical.

There are power savings for 802.11 that OpenBSD does not support; this is
entirely independent from saving battery via cpu clocking and it is also
entirely independent from saving battery via adjusting the transmit power
of the radio. The power savings for 802.11 actually put the radio to sleep

Thanks, Todd, and my apologies go to Jussi for misunderstanding his point.
I can replicate this behaviour. Windows allows me to change the "Power
Save Mode" on the Atheros AR5008 card used by Apple in the MacBook Pro
to "Off" which resolves the issue (when the MBP is booted into
Windows, anyway).
Any chance this recent change on CVS to sys/net80211/ieee80211_node.c
by damien@ is related?
"Add an ieee80211_notify_dtim() function that drivers should call
after every DTIM in HostAP mode.
Flushes all group addressed MSDUs buffered at the AP for power management."
Hope so!

So, if my understanding is correct (and I am not a coder or developer
so I may be about to humiliate myself with my ignorance here, but
please bear with me for a minute) the infrastructure has been added to
net80211 via the new ieee80211_notify_dtim() function, but it's up to
the individual drivers
