Hi,

the wlan not shutting properly down issue occured again today (just as I thought everything was going well) and the power was about to drain...

This is what I did:

connect to my wlan, synchronize data with unison, run microb, close microb, disconnect from wlan.

This is what iwconfig says after I disconnected from wlan. Note that the power saving is set to off.

Code:

~ $ iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:"mylan"
          Mode:Managed  Channel:0  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Bit Rate=0 kb/s   Tx-Power=19 dBm   Sensitivity=0/200
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:43/0  Signal level:-48 dBm  Noise level:-91 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

and this is the relevant part of dmesg

Code:

So it seems that the WLAN still trys to do something which might cause the drain observed here and elsewhere. Still not sure what triggered this behaviour.
