Perhaps, and i'm just waiving my fork through the air, but have you checked if there is a setting in the BIOS setting... something about the power state of the wireless card. I know there there is a setting for it in my laptop, but i don't have windoze so i can test to see if it does it to me. Just ignore me if this suggestion was so blatantly obvious!!! -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
