Just a quick email to say that powertop is indeed a miracle worker.
Using the karmic-backports to fix the wireless problem had made it
work full strength all the time. Powertop showed me how to activate
the power management.
Consumption is barely ever above 10W and I now have something closer
to 9 hrs battery life :)

84Wh battery.
nvidia_g210m_acpi module loaded.
8W base consumption idling. Between 9 and 10 if just working and
browsing a bit.
ubuntu 9.10
Never used powertop, will try it though.
Never clocked it but I think I get around 7 hours out of it.

Battery is an 8 cells, 5600mAh
I configure it with nvidia_g210m_acpi.c of course, and
powertop as soon as I
use it without AC (and obeying powertop blindly :) ).
Consumption is around 9W.
