Comment(by erikos):

 This is the detailed description of the test (joyride-1525):
 {{{
 a) use NM sleep/wake only
  - invoking the sleep command
  - NM goes to state 1
  - the wireless aquisition light is still on
  - the wireless activity light (.) is flashing from time to time
  - the NM logs do not change
  - iwconfig is showing txpower 13 dBm
  - the device is down fine, no ping etc
  - invoking the wake command
  - it tries to access the 3 mesh devices and finally reconnect to the AP

 b) use 'iwconfig eth0 txpower off'
  - invoke 'iwconfig eth0 txpower off'
  - the wireless aquisition light is off
  - the wireless activity light (.) is off
  - iwconfig is showing txpower off
  - after a while (1-2 secs) NM is trying to reconnect
  - it finally connects to mesh network 1
  - the wireless aquisition light is on
  - the wireless activity light (.) is off
  - NM is not in state 1 (obviously)

 c) use a and b
  - the wireless aquisition light is off
