Skill: wifi-powersave-fix

Purpose

Linux wireless cards default to a power-saving mode that parks the radio between packets. On a mostly-stationary, mostly-plugged-in dev machine this shows up as laggy WiFi — higher latency, latency spikes, and inconsistent throughput. This skill turns power-saving off via a persistent NetworkManager drop-in, trading a little idle power draw for a steadier link.

It is the first, cheapest thing to try when someone reports "my WiFi is slow/laggy" on a NetworkManager-managed Linux box.
