Dear Gang,
My copy of the "Wavelan IEEE 802.11" users guide from Lucent says on page
110 (of 210);
Table A-2 Power Characteristics
Doze Mode 9 mA
Receive Mode 280 mA
Transmit Mode 330 mA
Power Supply 5 V
It is dated Feb '99.
Smart driver programming could keep actual power consumption at acceptable
levels by strategically deactivating receive & transmit modes but getting it
working is the first step.
Big KUDOS to Hiroshi! Fantastic news for the Green NOS community.
Beware all those who are considering use of wireless 802.11b. It is a drug!
Cheers,
Haywood

Subject: Re: [NTLK] Power Consumtion of WaveLAN card
From: Jim Witte <jswitte_at_bloomington.in.us>
Can anyone here (PCBMan?) shed light on whether there is a theoretical
minimum power requirement for wireless cards? After all, they are generating
a radio signal of some strengh, but I don't know enough about radio
technology to know if that puts an appreciable floor on power consumption.
