[Tinyos-help] sleep and current consumption for tinynodes

I don't know if anyone has had this problem, but it seems in tinyos
2.1 that my tinynode 584s are not sleeping by default.  For example,
when I program a tinynode with the Null sample app (radio off, no
Leds, no computation, no tasks), it draws about 500-600uA, not the
0.2uA I expected.

In TinyOS 2.0, I seem to remember this happening automatically.  If
there's something I have to do to turn on MCU power management, I
would love to know what it is.

Thanks,
Jacob Sorber
