[Tinyos-devel] more bugging about current consumption on MicaZ in tinyos-2.x

[Joe Polastre]

The ATMega128L used on the MicaZ has a very wide sleep current.  Some
customers have reported as low as 5uA sleep current while others have
reported as high as 50-500uA sleep current.  The processor uses a very
archaic design relative to the new ATMega's and the superior TI MSP430
processors.
