Wireless Problems

I am having some problems with my pfsense wireless access
point I 
believe it is with the ath0 cards power management feature.
I came to 
this conclusion by reading a thread in the forum. I fixed
the problem by 
going into my laptops wireless nic (Intel) and turned off
the power 
saving feature. The only problem with this is, I can't make
the change 
on every laptop that connects to the wireless network. So I
was 
wondering if there is a way I can disable the power saver
feature on my 
access point so that the laptop cards will not go into power
saver mode? 
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Robert Schedko

Except disassociating the STA that is going to enter
power-save mode
(which is probably unacceptable and need to change code on
input
path), there is no way to prevent STA from entering
power-save mode at
AP side.

As sephe answered, power save support is a requirement of
every AP;
there's no way to turn it off.

You've provided no information about your setup.  A while
back there was
a bug in the ath driver in the handling of packets
dispatched in ap mode
to stations using power save.  But since then I've heard of
no s/w issues.
