After Vista has resumed from sleep or hibernation mode, I can no longer access the internet/network using my USB WiFi dongle. I have to unplug and reconnect the dongle and then wait a few seconds before I gain access to the network again. It's very annoying having to do that every time Windows resumes.

I first used the driver that came on a CD with the dongle. Later, Windows Update installed a supposedly newer driver, but the problem remains. It's a "Deltaco" dongle that plugs straight into a USB port on the mobo.

This worked fine in XP SP2 BTW. I thought Vista was supposed to improve on XP's sleep modes?
