Low Power Mode

[Leif Zars]

I have a embedded device with the a Wi2Wi 88W8686
http://www.gumstix.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=227
The Wifi works just fine.

I am trying to save power and am unable, ifup and ifdown do nothing.
Can some one please point me in the right direction to being able to put
this chip into a low power state or just turn it off.

I would be grateful for any help
thanks
