[c-nsp] iphone, Cisco AP/WLC & web-auth

[jcovini at free.fr]

This is a classic when it comes to Wifi PDAs.
Power save then reauth :/
On some WinCE.NET devices (only one I tested...) there is a powerscheme allowing
only the LCD to be shutdown (CPU, Wifi and Speaker remains on, ex, for softphone
ringing), and that's the only way to go I know. Maybe it's similar on the Iphone
?
