Power Save Mode
This property turns the Station Power Save
feature on or off, or sets it to Auto. When in
Auto mode, the station enters Power Save
based on the battery condition (XP only) on
the host. Power Save Mode decreases the
amount of power consumed by the adapter
by powering off the radio for short periods.
Enabling Power Save Mode trades off
performance for battery life.

mode that provides the best combination of
