how's your battery drain with your wifi card?

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.

If both devices support the same flavour of power saving there should be no dropped connections I don't believe. But the actual power saving is not part of the 802.11b AFAIK so vendors can implement their own flavours. I've not 100% on the last point, but 90%.
