Shouldn't do, but it's closed firmware, so who knows. On 2.6.24 there is some bad bug in the WLAN stack that it starts spewing debug messages for 11 hours every 22 hours or so. That's a known way it will eat more power "randomly". It hasn't been observed on 2.6.28+. So if it helps people choose, it's a good idea to use a distro that is supporting current kernels. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmAgv0ACgkQOjLpvpq7dMrfEACgifz78bWULMe23jJR5YRr2CmY RYQAnjhBxKYvK48Xo+4z+VNL47/M8KT8 =pNsN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
