["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dragoneyes, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12.1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Linux power regression is not improved from Natty to Oneiric to
  Precise to Quantal - Netbook Zareason Terra HD

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I' m opening this bug as continuation of bug #760131 [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/760131]  (comment 188),  since the power consumption in Ubuntu 11.10  is not really reduced, so the power regression in kernel 3.0.0-12 is not fixed for my hardware. Powertop shows a  reduction of about 1W (from about 8W to 7W), but battery life is not really improved. Actually, battery (6 cell, Soltech PT20) life is 4h30', but it should be 6h. I'm on a Zareason Terra HD netbook [https://zareason.com/shop/Terra-HD.html], with 3G modem, 1Gb Ram, 40Gb SSD.
  This is a fresh installation on Oneiric (not an upgrade).
  I'm also adding a lshw output.
  Ask me for any more needed information.
