I am not sure if that's what you mean, but if I set "iwconfig wlan0
power off" it makes no difference.

They keep coming with this too.

I am now calling

 ath9k_hw_ops(sc->sc_ah)->config_pci_powersave(sc->sc_ah, true);
 ath9k_setpower(sc, ATH9K_PM_FULL_SLEEP);

right before request_irq, and the interrupts still come. And the
device is in FULL_SLEEP the whole time, at least according to
ah->power_mode.
