1) Disabling the HDSPA modem by bios, the situation is the same, and the device continues to drain power. The only way seems to tweak the device by powertop, enabling the autosuspend.
2) Now I'm on Ubuntu Maveric 10.10 with updated kernel stiu@test:~$ uname -a Linux test 2.6.35-30-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 11 15:29:15 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux and the power consumption is 6,8 W, with a battery life of 5h30'. I'm adding the powertop output and th dmesg as requested. Summary: 2.6.35 - <7 W 2.6.38 - 8 W 3.0 - >7 W 3.1 - 9 W The difference between 2.6.35 and 3.0 in battery life is about 1h. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875801 Title: Linux power regeression is not improved from Natty to Oneiric - Netbook Zareason Terra HD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/875801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
