run(4) in AP mode and battery consumption of mobile devices

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi,

What were you using as an access point?

It could be a power saving management issue with freebsd net80211, but
it's also quite likely that one of the other power saving methods
(ps-poll, uapsd) is supported by your AP but not FreeBSD net80211.

I'd love to see pspoll/uapsd support in FreeBSD..
