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.
