I finally got my card working (Zonet noname card) with intersil drivers and it's eatin my battery like crazy (50% used in an hour).. I know intersil drivers don't have any power saving features but i didn't see any for my card's drivers anyway.

Just wanna know how other people's cards are doing.. is there alot of problems with dropped conections with power save? I'm tryin to decide if it might be worth it to get a different wifi card.
