Wifi power saving mode wrong at resume

Bug Description

I have a Toshiba U205 laptop using the ipw3945.

If I am on battery, I set the power saving mode of the wifi card using the
command

iwpriv eth1 set_power 7

After that, whenever I suspend the computer and and resume the mode is
set to level 6 (which means no power save, on AC) instead of 7 (which is
aggressive power saving, on Battery).

I have tried to force the power save mode creating a simple script that I
have placed in the /etc/acpi/resume.d directoy with the lines

----

#!/bin/bash
iwpriv eth1 set_power 7

----

I can confirm that the script is being called, but I still get level 6 in powersaving after resume. Maybe there is some other script being called after mine script or the module itself is being loaded only after the script?

I'm struggling with the same thing.

Does anyone have an idea how to re-enable the setting automatically?
