[Voyage-linux] ECN for ALIX boards

mmm... I think you are making a bad measure. Do you have the tester with 
the right amperage level? I mean, in the 0'2mA - 2A intervale? (you may 
have an upper level of  0'2 [surely...])
I have made some measures adding USB bluetooth pens and the amperage 
increases (0'2 for each pen).

regards.

David.
