2.

What netbook are you using this on?
Dell 10v, 2gb RAM

Please provide any additional information below.
I accidentally ran Software Update, when the machine was working perfectly 
which, of course caused some issues with 10.6.8. I was forced to reinstall from 
scratch, which took some fiddling. I found that NBI 0.8.5 Pre did not give me 
audio nor wifi, so reinstalled 0.8.4. All hardware working correctly, and OS 
seems stable again. Hibernation working.
Before my hiccup, the 3 cell battery gave over two hours of working time, but 
since this install, the "service battery" warning is visible, and the battery 
life seems to have dropped to under an hour. Since there is no PMU, that I am 
aware of, on the 10v, I am lost for ways to rectify the issue.
