In hopes to help userspace help tune dynamic power save or use pm-qos to further save power I've added some initial docs for both. Please help revise, and extend it: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/dynamic-power-save http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/pm-qos Its a wiki, so if you see something wrong please just update it.
