Indeed. However any external devices on the USB port is likely to make power measurements on the high side, and that may vary wildly from one device to another. Arguably, power consumption at that point cannot be attributed fully to the SheevaPlug alone. Nicolas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
