Comment:

 The other issue, not yet obvious, is whether we can get the wireless
 firmware to have as low power consumption and therefore the expected
 lifetime.  Michailis believes we can do much better than we do today (and
 the power when associated to a conventional access point is indeed within
 spitting distance of the power levels we'd hoped for).

 We now know how to turn the dcon off, so we know the wireless power
 consumption will be just the wireless power consumption.

 But if power consumption stays at current levels, we'll probably need a
 suspend with wireless off state.

 Since we don't yet really know the wireless firmware power consumption
 situation for sure, particularly for early production machines before the
 wireless refresh, I'm punting this to later.
