Wi-fi connection goes down when using battery!

hi mates!
I'm still very happy and satisfied about my fs415s..
there's just one thing that is a little bit boring:

when I use my home wi-fi connection,and the laptop works with battery, the connection goes down*! most of the times it goes down when the battery is running lower than 30%! Then if I use the ac adaptor it works again!!

Is it a coincidence?
has anybody experienced this? is this a "centrino" problem?

*i mean that my laptop can't get any information or data from the net, while the router is still working correctly and the other pc(desktop) works fine(it is directly linked to the router)

Probably because I have a PCMCIA wireless card Thalamus - I dont get the Min/Max performance option.


Hi Blencogo,

I only have the min/max setting on the Sony internal wireless card.

I seem to remember my Netgear WG511T card had the option to 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' but it seems Netgear have removed it now from the WN511B card...:smileyconfused:

Can't ever remember selecting the option turn the device off to save power though..:smileygrin:
