After upgrade today, new wifi called devel_adhoc
 

Today i upgraded to latest firmware, everything was fine, but i noticed my battery was dying WAY TOO FAST, more than ussual.
I just discovered that there is a new adhoc WLAN connection called devel_adhoc.
With static ip 192.168.4.15
AND 100mW of wifi power

Wich was killing my battery, i just arrive home, plugged to charger and deleted this connection, lets see how it works tomorrow without this monster. :D

I never ever created this adhoc connection, so better you people check if you have this created and running too.


I just discovered another connection called dummy_iap. :mad:

These come from 3rd party packages. They're not there by default.
And yes, AdHoc WiFi is a battery killer.

What 3rd party packages? I have run across this adhoc stuff before and just thought it was anonymous skullduggery like viruses. Do people do this openly, and if so, why? (Maybe I should start googling, but I haven't yet.) I saw the dummy_lap recently also.

The maemo-pc-connectivity meta-package pulls in something that sets it up - not sure exactly which app it is that does it though. And adhoc is just WLAN without a dedicated access point.
