Re: [maemo-users] Abnormal power consumption on N800
Humberto Ortiz-Zuazaga [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have an N800, and there are 2 wireless networks in the office, with two SSID hpcfwl and guestwl, I defined them both on the N800, but hpcfwl won't let me connect until I add the Mac address to the access point's ACL. guestwl does let me connect. The problem is that the N800 tries to connect to the hpcfwl when I walk in the door, and eats a full charge in a few hours. The status bar shows a ? on the connection icon. I have now heard few reports of WLAN consuming too much power. Usually it's a sign of WLAN not going to Power Save Mode and it happens because of some odd IOP problems with certain Access Points. I would like know more details about this hpcfwl. I would be interested know at least it's make and model, but firmware version also would be good to know. -- Kalle Valo ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

It'll be hard to test now, but my--gut reaction--guess would be that your N800 is continuously polling the access point for DHCP. Did it give an error about local network addresses or the like? I'm not sure I've see the '?' icon before and it would be interesting to know exactly how much network you get on hpcfwl without having your MAC in the ACL. Does it assign you a non-routable address and stick you in a VLan so you can't do any harm, does it just refuse to talk to your device, or what? Your network engineer might have some ideas with this... --Paul ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Your network engineer might have some ideas with this... As far as I know, the AP won't let me associate at all. Both hpcfwl and guestwl are on the same access point, on different vlans. guestwl will let anyone associate, and the vlan has a DHCP server that gives me an address. hpcfwl won't let me associate if the Mac address isn't in the list. The vlan for this ssid has a different DHCP server, but as far as I know I haven't gotten to the point of talking to that DHCP server when the N800 is draining the battery. It looks to me like it keeps polling trying to associate with the AP. Is there some command I can run to confirm this? -- Humberto Ortiz-Zuazaga Programmer-Archaeologist UPR Bioinformatics Resource Center http://www.hpcf.upr.edu/~humberto/ ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
