Laptop battery drain -wifi

Postby realmadrid » Tue Jul 14, 2009 12:49 pm

I installed Ultimate 2.2 on my laptop (using a dual boot setup) onto a seperate partition. I love this distro, its excellent. But one thing I cant figure out is that my wifi light on my laptop keeps flashing indicating something is sending/receiving something. I used the system monitor and it shows nothing working in the background. I want to fing the process application thats using my wireless connection and turn it off or unstall it because i beleive it is killing my battery life. Thanks

Hello & welcome to the Ultimate Edition Board realmadrid.

There could be one million processes/applications that are using your wifi an would make little sense to try an kill them all. I would suggest just turning your wifi off if you think its causing your battery to die!!
