Re: Battery draining while suspended

Power to the radio certainly should be getting forced off during
suspend. Could you try the "unload modules and reboot" trick and see if
it does actually make a difference to the current drain while suspended?
If so, I'll try to find out what's gone wrong.

It might also be worth updating to the latest kernel. I don't remember
for sure if there have been any power-saving changes since hh36.11, but
it's possible.
