This is crazy! I should be seeing < 10 mA. Are the power49 wifi drivers munged?

Testing without wifi gives a fairly bumpy power consumption between 17 mA and about 90 mA. Note this is wifi off, screen off, measured with the bq2700.sh script. We appear to have a hungry wifi driver here. At these rates, a wifi-connected idle N900 will discharge in 6 hours, instead of lasting for days.
If you are running the wifi in adhoc mode, what did you expect?
