Comment(by cjb):

 Michail,

 > the real discussion here is whether we wakeup on wireless events or not,
 not whether we turn the wireless off completely (that's a control panel
 issue).

 Jim and Kim had decided that we should *always* turn off the wireless
 completely on "sleep" (which is lid close or power button), because
 otherwise keeping it on depletes the battery too quickly, at 900mW.

 I hope that disabling mesh beacons will halve that number, which should be
 more acceptable.  That is why I'm asking you whether we can turn off mesh
 beacons now; if we can, and tinderbox shows it to save as much power as we
 hope it will, I will not implement a complete wireless shutdown on lid
 close straight-away.

 I will still implement "go back to sleep after a wireless wakeup after lid
 close", which is a different bug.
