I have this card in my Dell XPS 13 (4303): Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev bb).
When surfing the web, powertop shows the power consumption of:
5.66 W 2.4 pkts/s Device Network interface: wlp2s0 (iwlwifi)
but sometimes gets up to 9W.
In Devices tab it shows:
100.0% Radio device: iwlwifi
Is this normal? I have poked around with power_save, power_level kernel params (no effect). It does seem like this wifi card in on 100% of the time no matter if I transfer anything or not.
Any tips on improving the situation? Including getting a less power hungry replacement...
