Try blacklisting the wireless driver and run powertop then. Then load the wireless driver(atheros?) and check again.
I was having the problem you described until I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.34. It still runs in higher C states more than I like it to but the battery actually behaves similarly to windows and the fan isn't always on, as it used to. Something is wrong with older kernels and something in the wireless drivers, as I was having this with both broadcom and atheros drivers. I'm on an Intel Core 2 CULV. What chipset has your Atom computer?
