I noticed that my battery is being drawn since I installed PR1.2 yesterday. So
when I saw your mail I checked my device and found the same messages, except
for the deauthentication/authentication every 900 seconds.
What is more important, I also have some message like this:
[56910.552368] w11251: ERROR Power save entry failed, giving up
[56994.833557] w11251: ERROR Power save entry failed, giving up
[57034.021118] w11251: ERROR Power save entry failed, giving up
Which could explain the battery being drawn, but I have no clue about what it
is.
My wifi configuration is the same as yours except that at this precise comment
I'm using WEP. At home I use WPA and I'll check whether I have the
deauthentication/authentication loop.
Alejandro.
