Wireless connection lost when Computer Hibernates

[ppilot]

Currently I am running a relatively new build that has Home Premium with a Linksys Wireless adapter. Whenever my computer goes in hibernation made, I lose my wireless connection and it won't recognize the router for about 5-10 minutes. Most of the time its faster for me to restart than it is to wait for the connection to reestablish. At first it was a minor annoyance but its getting to the point where it is driving me nuts.

I was not sure where to post this question, but I appreciate anybody that has any ideas.

Desktop, I assume; Private or public network? Sounds to me like a driver or settings issue.

If you go into the device manager and find your network card, you'll see a tab on the properties sheet called power. On this tab is an option to allow windows to disable the device to save power when the computer goes into sleep mode. It's enabled by default.

Try turning that off and see if it helps.

Since when doesn't Vista have Hibernate anymore? Last time I had Vista on my computer it still had Hibernate.

My vista defaulted to hibernate ;P

It definately has hibernate. lol

Anyways check to make sure you have the most recent drivers on the NIC. If that doesn't work maybe a BIOS update. My laptop had that issue and was resolved with a BIOS update, maybe it could help you?

Thanks for the advice. It is working now that I disabled the powersave to the wireless card. I might try the software fix and see if that does it too.
