@Michael Eklund Thanks for persisting in commenting on this bug -- it's
also present in Debian Squeeze (as one would expect from such a generic
cause).
@Florian M. The command I think he's suggesting is:
iwconfig wlan0 power on
As one can see in this (edited) output:
root@poker:~# iwconfig wlan0
...
Power Management:off
...
root@poker:~# iwconfig wlan0 power on
root@poker:~# iwconfig wlan0
...
Power Management:on
...
Having tried turning on power management, the result is not quite as
neat and obvious for me as described by Micheal, but it seems that the
same thing may well be going on, and if I turn of the wifi completely
(with the switch on the side of the laptop) then it drops the
temperature enough to result in a quiet fan. Power management on the
wifi does drop the temperature a few degrees, but I think it's still
just a little to high to let the fan throttle back in my case.
