Funny, 'coz I'm through this since 10.5.2, plus I didn't use to have any problem with my battery while I were running Windows. That's another thing I gotta look into... “Actually, your battery life in OS X is greater than in Windows. To obtain this higher battery life, you need to install VoodooPower.kext”

So it does work, but stops after you physically turn it off? I have a super easy solution for that… don’t turn it off! There’s absolutely no reason why you would need to turn it off, especially when it gives you issues. If you absolutely must though, I have had some success with turning off Airport and then turning off the card. Then, to turn it back on, turn the card on, wait about 30 seconds, and then turn Airport on. Note that this doesn’t always work, but I would say it does the majority of the time." -- Hehehe, I sure reckon this ideia about not turning the card off as a solution, but I wish I could save some battery when it's unplugged, 'coz we all know that after installing OS X, the battery duration reduces by (at least) half, comparing to when we were running Windows. No problem, Thomas. Many thanks for your attention. I'll try on and if I have any success, I'll post back. “Oh!!!! So it does work, but stops after you physically turn it off?
