[Bug 1249008] Re: iwlwifi kernel driver does not obey power saving settings
If you're using TLP http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/tlp.html then you can
disable power management when on battery by changing the option
"WIFI_PWR_ON_BAT=5" to "WIFI_PWR_ON_BAT=1" about halfway down in the
file "/etc/default/tlp".

Title:
iwlwifi kernel driver does not obey power saving settings
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Poor ping times (high latency) can be observed after unplugging from a
power source.
To recreate this issue start by disabling power saving and hw
encryption while your laptop is plugged in.
Power saving can be turned off at module load time, or with iwconfig
[dev] power off
rmmod iwldvm iwlwifi && modprobe iwlwifi power_save=0 swcrypto=1
power_level=1
Will remove the driver and re-insert with power saving off and sw
encryption on.
start a ping to your router
Watch latency; should be 3ms or so.
Unplug laptop from power and watch latency rise to 60+ ms
To get reliable networking again, either plug laptop back in or re-
issue commands to disable power saving.
Changing the power state of the machine changes the power state of the
nic regardless of setting. What I've found is that setting power
saving to on/off puts the card in power saving state instead of
disabling or enabling based on power source.
If you unplug your machine you must re-issue the commands to disable
power saving.
