Is it possible under Linux to change the frequency of Wifi chips e.g. using Intel driver iwlwifi like we do for CPUs?

A network adapter does not process tasks, queues, or priorities.  All it does is convert the message received on one interface to a format compatible with the other one.There is also no way for the adapter to predict the processing that will be required in the next instant (let alone second).  Even if there was any logical justification to implement this, which there isn't, it would probably require more processing to manage it than what would be saved.The only way to make such an adapter use less energy is to put it to sleep, if it supports it.  Of course it won't be able to handle any communication during sleep.
