I just did `ifconfig ath0 wme' on my FreeBSD 7.0 AP and my Nokia E71
(powersave enabled/disabled) was no longer able to establish a
connection.  WME/WMM, however, seems to be much more then just about
powersave, so it's possible that I missed some additional options.

With powersave enabled I run into the same kind of problems you
described in your OP. powersave disabled OTOH kills the battery of my
E71 and makes it uncomfortably hot.
