Hello, Yesterday I did some tests with my eeePC 900 to see how long it would work with the 4400 mAh battery ... it seems that turning of the wireless card (ath0), which can be turned of from the BIOS, has big effect and let work the eeePC for more then 2hours 15minutes; in the Xandros Linux you can turn off the NIC as well with Fn+F2 which in FreeBSD does not work at boot stage, i.e. when you may defer the booting in the boot loader countdown; is there any way to switch this off without going into the BIOS? thx in advance matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <matthias.apitz@oclc.org> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ «...una sola vez, que es cuanto basta si se trata de verdades definitivas.» «...only once, which is enough if it has todo with definite truth.» José Saramago, Historia del Cerca de Lisboa
