The power_save_disable module parameter allows power management to be
disabled from start of day, e.g. from a .conf file, without needing to
run any commands from e.g. a systemd service. It also prevents any
subsequent modifications unless the parameter is changed at runtime.
N.B. With power management disabled in this way, commands such as
"iw wlan0 get power_save" may indicated that it is enabled, but the
output in the kernel log says otherwise:
brcmfmac: brcmf_cfg80211_set_power_mgmt: power save disabled

Is this preferable to NetworkManager config option An option that disables power-save but incorrectly reports it is enabled may cause confusion. |

I was humouring @XECDesign, but with that config option that everyone's talking about this is unnecessary. |
