Q: Powernap option not available on new Macbook Pro

According to Apple's Mountain Lion site, Power Nap "may require a firmware update."  Hopefully we'll see one today, I'm using a retina MBP and I don't see Power Nap anywhere either.

Expect a firmware update very soon to enable this feature.

This is BOGUS! I was wanting this feature and I cannot find it. I have a MacBook Air 2011 13" Core i7 and it's not in my energy preferences. Where is this feature that Apple has been advertising? I paid for my Mountain Lion, it wasn't the free copy that some people are getting so I wonder if that's why. Only some people get it while others dont? Does anyone know?

Wait for a firmware update that will be released shortly. And meanwhile, please feel free to take a chill pill.

Yes, it requires a firmware update in order to activate this.  I do have to say Apple missed the boat on this one.  They should have waited until this was available before releasing ML.

I ought to get into the chill pill business... In a day like today, I'd be a billionaire!

The update is available now. Click on  then select software update.

The firmware update has been released for MB Airs, but not yet for the retina MBP. Apple says it is "coming soon" in a knowledge base article:

Hence my confusion, since this thread is about retina mbp's.
