That sound's good and that is what I want to do. Then one AC adapter should be enough to power both, the PDA and external WLAN card connected to it (or something other). No need for an additive AC adapter for some external USB hub. > > What's the entire power drain for the whole PDA?

Is there any way to ask kernel for power comsumption instead of measuring yourself and using some algebra? bye ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
