I have the same setup. I used to keep both cards in my Newt, and I never
saw a difference in power consumption (but, in fairness, I use the
backlight quite often, so the overhead of an ethernet card would not have
made much of a difference anyway).
Since I use the ethernet card hardly for anything but printing (in linux),
I decided to switch it for the dummy until needed. Like I said, power
consumption is pretty much the same.
The memory card is in my Newt all the time (and, as almost all my data
reside on it, it would be pretty pointless to take it out anyway).
