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.
