Where is this GUI option in 2008? I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I have noticed that several other configuration options from 2007 are now missing as well. While my WAP supports PSM just fine, I am kinda curious about what effect the higher latency is having on overall bandwidth and if that in turn is having negative effects on media streaming, (ORB) in particular.
