Linux Kernel Suffering Power Management Regression?

Posted by Soulskill on from the year-of-linux-on-the-coppertop dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It appears that there's a big power management regression in the Linux kernel for the 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 development releases, including the kernel to ship with Ubuntu 11.04 next week. It's reportedly causing a 10~30% increase in power consumption on many laptop computers."
