Subject: USB dongle running hotter in new kernel
Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2011 12:07:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110603120700.07acdaee@tomh> (raw)
I have a Belkin USB dongle I use for an access point via hostapd.
Here's the lsusb info:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 050d:705a Belkin Components F5D7050 Wireless G Adapter v3000 [Ralink RT2573]
On fedora 14, kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64 when I have it
plugged in an running with my android phone connected, it gets
warmish, but not too hot.
On fedora 15, kernel 2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64, it gets quite
hot (not enough to raise blisters when I unplug it, but still
noticeably warmer). In fact, I think the heat makes it shut
down because I keep losing wlan0 at random times.
Is there something I can tweak to fix this, or information I
can provide to help understand it? I see various errors in
dmesg when I plug it in, yet it does seem to be working:
