Re: [maemo-users] Abnormal power consumption on N800
On the subject of excessive WLAN power consumption, I have a issue I've been meaning to bring up. I use a US Robotics USB b/g WLAN adapter in ad-hoc mode on a Linux system to connect to. The driver for the USB wrapper is loaded via NDIS Wrapper, kernel version 2.6.18. I do not use DHCP for anything; all IP information is defined statically. The ad-hoc network uses 128b WEP. Anyway, whenever I'm connected I have no problems with the connection but it will dissipate power continuously, growing warm to the touch regardless of how long it's idle. Typically I'll open a SSH session and leave it open all day without doing much. Anyone have a similar experience aside from Humberto's?

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... 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

[maemo-users] Abnormal power consumption on N800
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. If I manually select guestwl, it connects, and power consumption goes way down. I tried running top on the device when it's in the ? state, but don't see anything unusual. -- Humberto Ortiz-Zuazaga Programmer-Archaeologist University of Puerto Rico http://www.hpcf.upr.edu/~humberto/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
