Hi all!
For month or two I have strange bihaveour
on laptop. 6.1 release, pcmcia card with
"ral" chip on it and battery 2 years old.
Using wpa_supplicant, I get connection to
router, dhclient helps for ip address. Then
connection drops, goes up again, drops.
After some tweaking with channels and an-
tenas, I tried with power cable. Everything
works smooth.
Here is info on battery itself:
design capacity: 6000 mAh
last full capacity: 3232 mAh
design voltage: 14800 mV
capacity (warn): 250 mAh
capacity (low): 150 mAh
Model No: JM-6
type: LION
present rate: 17316mA
voltage: 11065 mV
I have cpufreq in kernel and powerd in rc.conf.
Should I remove cpufreq option or replace the
battery?
