Isn't Wifi supposed to be off by default?

Hi,
  Well, I removed both s3cmci.ko and ar6000.ko and here's what powertop has
to say

Wakeups-from-idle per second : 217.8    interval: 5.0s
Top causes for wakeups:
  92.4% (201.0)       <interrupt> : S3C2410 Timer Tick 
   4.4% (  9.6)            python : schedule_hrtimeout_range
(hrtimer_wakeup)
   1.1% (  2.4)       <interrupt> : s3c2410_udc
   0.5% (  1.0)       gsm0710muxd : schedule_hrtimeout_range
(hrtimer_wakeup)
   0.5% (  1.0)            Xglamo : hrtimer_start (it_real_fn)
   0.4% (  0.8)     enlightenment : schedule_hrtimeout_range
(hrtimer_wakeup)
   0.2% (  0.4)            batget : schedule_hrtimeout_range
(hrtimer_wakeup)
   0.2% (  0.4)     <kernel core> : schedule_delayed_work_on
(delayed_work_timer_fn)
   0.1% (  0.2)          dropbear : sk_reset_timer (tcp_write_timer)
   0.1% (  0.2)     <kernel core> : page_writeback_init (wb_timer_fn)
   0.1% (  0.2)   <kernel module> : neigh_table_init_no_netlink
(neigh_periodic_timer)
   0.1% (  0.2)            Xglamo : schedule_hrtimeout_range
(hrtimer_wakeup)
   0.1% (  0.2)     <kernel core> : neigh_table_init_no_netlink
(neigh_periodic_timer)

  seems like there is still a clock ticking away at 40Hz. Or is this not the
WLAN clock?

  I got about 8 hrs through the night (no wakes) and lost 12%. This is
pretty much the same as earlier.
  Also, as I has asked earlier, how do I __really__ turn off bluetooth and
GPS? Is there something lurking ;-) underneath too?
  Also - just a thought - can't powertop be modified to handle the
freerunner better? Or rather a diff utility derived from powertop for the
freerunner/openmoko phones. That will really help see where the power is
going. Of course you'd need someone with a pretty thorough understanding of
the hardware to do this.
  Hope I'm not diverting too much :-)
