Wireless card power management
I have noticed that when my computer in plugged in, the wireless strength increases. I'm assuming this is to do with power management.
Is there a way to disable Wireless Power Management?
I have found a few blog posts that show hacks to disable this but what is best practice here? Should there not be an option via the power menu that lets you toggle this?

edit the following file by entering:
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
add the lines to disable wlan0 wireless: sleep 10 (this gives the wireless dongle/card time to to load, before executing the command below) "iwconfig wlan0 power off"
important! make sure there is a line at the very end that reads:
"exit 0"
this will bypass any errors and allow the system to continue to boot.
you can add other startup commands here as well - very useful.
it should look like this:
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
sleep 10
iwconfig wlan0 power off
exit 0
