Here's a better workaround:

Download the patch that I am attaching to this comment. Then copy the wireless power script into /etc, and apply my patch to it:

$ sudo cp /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless /etc/pm/power.d/wireless
$ sudo patch /etc/pm/power.d/wireless < PATCHFILE

Putting a script in /etc/pm will override the script with the same name in /usr/lib/pm-utils. The patch adds a special case for the "wl" driver that prevents the activation of power saving.

Someone could add this patch to the source package and build a pm-utils deb with the fixed wireless script in it if they wanted to.
