Comment(by pgf):

 i agree.  a better test might be to inject "lidclose" events to powerd,
 after scheduling a wakeup using the ec timer ("echo 3000 >
 /sys/power/gptimer").  i haven't tried this particular combination, but
 richard's recent power testing scripts do something similar by injecting
 "dark-suspend" events.  that doesn't turn the wifi off though, and
 "lidclose" will.

 so essentially:  (completely untested)
 {{{
 while :
 do
   echo 5000 > /sys/power/gptimer
   powerd-config =lidclose
   wait for wireless, flag error if problem
 done
 }}}

 if kernel support for the gptimer thingamajig didn't make it into a
 release yet (it's recent), there's a way of accessing it using
 /sys/power/ec as well.
