Has MS created a fix for reconnecting the wireless connection upon coming out
of the Sleep or Hibernate Mode? As a reminder, my laptop, when it goes into sleep or hibernate mode, must be RESTARTED in order to connect to the network it was once connected to before entering the sleep or hibernate mode. I believe I'm not the only person having this issue. Still waiting on a fix! |

For me the solution came about as a result of this forum and a struggle on my part. Firstly get all of the current (April ) updates for Vista then make sure the setting for the NIC power control "Allow Windows to turn off this device to save power " is set to ON. During hibernation the NIC is turned off by default it seems. Once you have set this item to on Vista seems to feel that it has turned the device off and therefore tiurns it back on after coming out of hibernation. This only worked for me after the April Vista upgrades. George |

Hi, George,
