Re: [Gumstix-users] wifi overheating

[Rob F. <ro...@fa...>]

As I recall, I found this here somewhere and it seems to work well.
Put into /etc/network/interfaces

Iwconfig wlan0 power on

This seems to put the module into power management mode and then it runs
much cooler.

There is a way to pu the wifi in a power managed mode by adding a line
to /etc/network/interfaces  It keeps the wifi cool as long as it isn't
hung not connected to an access point. I wish I could remember off the
top of my head.
