Christopher, The problem is that there is no global setting for that. You can enable or disable PM in NM per connection. Global settings are possible if you are not using NM.
A perfect solution is to make that setting in NM config. It is very easy yo do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1557026 Title: [SRU]Network Manager sets powersave off by default in xenial Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in network-manager source package in Yakkety: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] NetworkManager consumes more power than previous releases because powersave support is not updated. [Test Case] With the patch applied, network device power management should be on when supported, for example: $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 | grep "Power Management" Power Management:on [Regression Potential] Regression may happen when the power management feature of certain device isn't implemented properly in kernel, but since we are quite conservative on enabling power management in kernel development such case should be rare.
