It really depends on the hardware. I have some laptops at work that won't reconnect their integrated Intel NICs coming out of sleep in XP. My laptop at home has a Netgear wireless card and it reconnects automatically out of sleep just fine; same with the Nvidia NIC on my home PC. I've seen

It really depends on the hardware. Same is true for Macs. One would expect Apple's control of both the hardware and software to give them an advantage, but waking from sleep has been problematic for years. This would never have happened under OS 9.
