Wi-Fi powersave¶
Wi-Fi Powersave is a feature that allows a device to suspend its radio activity after a fixed period of inactivity. The device remains idle for a fixed time, usually about 100ms, and once it is reached it wakes up to check if the infrastructure has any packets queued up for it.
The NetworkManager snap allows to configure this option by either enabling or disabling the powersave feature.
You can read more about the Wi-Fi Powersave feature on the following sites:

To allow users to enable or disable Wi-Fi Powersave, the snap provides a single configuration option:

Option can be set via the configuration API snaps provide. See Managing snap configuration for more details.
