</div>Most smartphone WLAN chips switch off their powermanagement as soon as you<br>
activate Adhoc-Mode... which will drain your battery anyways.<br></blockquote><div>and much faster as olsrd could ever do,..

<div>(this results in just several mW more)</div><div><br></div><div>
<div>if u have low tx power (<5db) even forwarding other users traffic does not really increase your power consumption,..</div></div><div><br></div><div>but of course no suspend to ram while meshing,.. <br>but also not while connected to an wifi AP as a client, ..</div>
