Default Wireless lost after sleep

I've this laptop -
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/product.php...AH%20MARKETING

When it comes out of sleep it doesn't reconnect to the internet via my
wireless hub, but it does get what it calls a "local only" connection. So I
have to click on disconnect and then connect to get the net back. Works fine
on restart, but not after sleep.

Could it be something with my hub?

Any ideas?

I would re-configure the power management. This search result may help,

Solution seems to be that I disable my (unused) ethernet adaptor.

Thank you for the feedback. Can we assume you have two connection, one is wired and another is wireless?

Yes I can connect to my broadband hub via ethernet as well as wireless, but I tend to just use the wireless, so disabling the ethernet adaptor is fine for now - I could always enable it again if I need to. Not sure why this is an issue - perhaps the ethernet card was taking some sort of priority over the wireless card?

I have this same problem.
Dell Inspiron E1505

All new drivers. My wireless router is new. It is the one Dell recommnended.
I followed Microsoft's solution for power management.

The thing just does not reconnect properly after waking from sleep.

If I click "diagnose" under "Wireless Network Connection Status" It almost
always reconnects.

I am pretty confidant nothing is wrong with my settings, I just think
something screwy happens with Vista when the computer wakes from sleep.

This really ought to be fixed.
