Have you tried enabling the card's power saving features? I know some cards will go to low-power mode when possible.  Also, I wonder if USB adaptors draw less current due to the limitations of the USB interface? I recently worked on an install with some nice Lucent USB adaptors.

Subject: [BAWUG] Battery life question

I would like to use 802.11 for robotics (being able to put data, video, command on one transmission form).  But battery life (and hence weight) has been a real limiting factor. 

Does anyone know of a card that is easier on battery life.

Robb,
