It's been a while since I deliberately forced the machine into standby although it would only take a few minutes. My vague recollection is that stopping/removing/reinserting the card didn't help. In fact I concluded at the time that it was YAWB (yet another Windows Bug). If I had a nickel for every hour I've spent chasing windows problem... ;^(
-Alex P.S. My favorite (not) windows bugs are the ones associated with the AMD K6 processors. You end up with a very unstable machine but when you put Linux or any of the NT variants on these systems magically everything works. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Greater NH Linux User Group" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 10:59 AM Subject: Wireless weirdness (was: NT Stuff) On Wed, 15 Jan 2003, at 10:37am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I've seen something similar with my laptop Win 2k using a wireless card. > Everything works fine until the laptop, running on battery, desides to go > to standby mode.

That is likely not so much the power saving, but the card itself, or maybe the device drivers. The OS should be telling the card to "wake back up", so to speak. If you "Stop" and then remove the card, and then reinsert it, does it start working? In general, most of the off-the-shell "WiFi" stuff I've played with has been rather flakey. I don't know if it is because manufacturers are cutting too many corners, or something inherent in the standard, or because the technology is immature, or what. It has made me appreciate the reliability of good old fashioned UTP, though. :-) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
