Bug with external power

[jujulot]

hello everybody ,

i have a olimexino 328 with the  Wireless SD shield (http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoWirelessShield).
on the shield  i use the SD card to log data that came from 4 max31850 ( https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-1-wire-thermocouple-amplifier-max31850k/wiring-and-test) and xbee to send data to my computer.

i have made my code with an Arduino Uno , i tested it with external powering and everything was good.

but when i replace my Uno with the olimex 328 i have a problem :
my program is not working and the led on the wireless shield that indicate Tx and RX are lighting at the same time which is not correct (i don't use receive ans send at the same time). i have to reset 2 or 3 times and then it's starting well and everything is allright.

this case is when i use external power (12 volts from good regulator ( i think so))

what i don't understand is when i use USB power everything is good at each time, the olimexino is starting well and my code is ok.

if someone have a idea of where is my mistake taht would be very great...

thank to all
