| Hello Brian,
|
| Thank you for using newsgroup!
|
| Based on my experience, there are some issues when we resume from
| sleep/hibernate on Windows Vista. This issue occurs because of the power
| saving features that are included in Windows Vista. The default power
plan
| that Windows Vista uses for a mobile PC is the Balanced power plan.
|
| To work around this issue, use one of the following methods, as
appropriate
| for your situation.
|
| Method 1: Connect the mobile PC to a power source
| ================
| When you plug the mobile PC into a power source, Windows Vista switches
the
| wireless network adapter power setting in the default power plan from the
| Medium Power Save setting to the Maximum Performance setting. This turns
| off the 802.11 power save mode.
| Method 2: Modify the default power saving power plan
| ================
| Modify the default on-battery power setting for the wireless network
| adapter. Configure the wireless network adapter to use the Maximum
| Performance setting when Windows Vista is configured to use the Balanced
| power plan or the Power saver power plan. To do this, follow these steps:
| 1. Click Start, type Power Options in the Start Search box, and then
click
| Power Options in the Programs list.
|
| If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type
| your password or click Continue.
| 2. Click Change plan settings under the power plan that is selected. For
| example, if the Balanced option is selected, click Change plan settings
| under Balanced.
| 3. Click Change advanced power settings.
| 4. In the Power Options dialog box, expand Wireless Adapter Settings, and
| then expand Power Saving Mode.
| 5. In the list that appears next to On battery, click Maximum
Performance,
| and then click OK.
|
| Method 3: Use the "High performance" power plan
| ================
| If the computer is running on a power plan other than the High
performance
| power plan when you connect to a wireless network, manually change the
| power plan to High performance. To do this, follow these steps:
| 1. Click Start, type Power Options in the Start Search box, and then
click
| Power Options in the Programs list.
|
| If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type
| your password or click Continue.
|
| Note: You can also right-click the battery icon in the notification area
to
| access the Power Options command.
| 2. Click High performance.
|
| For more detailed information, please refer to the following articles:
| 928152: You may experience connectivity issues or performance issues when
| you connect a mobile PC that is running Windows Vista to a wireless
access
| point
|
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928152/en-us
|
| 937477: After you wake a Windows Vista-based computer from sleep or from
| hibernation, the network icon in the notification area does not show the
| correct connectivity status
|

| Hope that helps!

| | We have about 150 Toshiba M400 Tablets with Intel 3945 Wi-Fi cards in
| them.
| | We are a having a problem where the radio gets disabled and cannot be
| | enabled other than by a reboot. It seems to happen often out of Sleep
/
| | Hibernate but at other times too. We had similar problems with the
3945
| | last year in XP until Intel fixed the driver. The newest driver
| available
| | from Intel is
| |
|
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=2259&DwnldI
| D=13001
| | which is 11.1.1.11. However I found on Dell this
| |
|
http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&r
| eleaseid=R164259&formatcnt=1&libid=0&fileid=220548
| | which is 11.1.1.22. Also it has the release notes:
| | Addresses 3945ABG radio disable seen in some 802.11a environments after
| | Standby or Hibernate
| |
| | I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this issue. If so any
| fixes?
| | Has anyone tried the above driver from Dell? I have a school full of
| | teachers and students who are not going to be happy by random reboots
| needed
| | due the radio not working.
| |
| | Thanks
