For X61 users, powermanagement for wireless LAN is a source of fun and
joy.  The maintainers decided to not support it at all in kernel
2.6.31.  I was able to remove this.  However, In 2.6.32, they
refactored all the PM code to not use a non-standard sysfs file
(power_level) anymore, but iwconfig settings.  However, it still can't
be enabled on IWL 4965 hardware, so I had to look into the driver
source again so make it work.
