How does the wireless Ethernet card affect my laptops battery?
Like any electronic component, the Ethernet card will drain power from your battery. They should have less than a 10% impact on battery life. The average current required to be able to receive packets using PSP (Power Save Protocol) is less than 60 mA (about 25% of the power consumption of a 10/100 PC Card). Where do I go if I have trouble using Buffalo Roaming? First, consult the Buffalo Roaming web site http://www.wtamu.edu/buffaloroaming which provides installation instructions for the three different Buffalo Roaming Accounts (Student, Faculty/Staff, and Guest). Contact the IT Service Center at 651-4357 or itsc@mail.wtamu.edu if you are having difficulty understanding the directions.
