Home / Misc / Computer troubles / CANNOT FIND ANY WIRELESS NETWORKS AFTER HIBERNATION

System

HAPPENED WITH DELL VOSTRO 1500 WITH VISTA BUSINESS, DUAL CORE INTEL WITH INTEP/PRO WIRELESS.
 

Problem

AFTER A WHILE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I TURN MY DELL VOSTRO INTO SLEEPING OR HIBERNATION MODE, THE WIRELESS CONNECTION NO LONGER WORKS UNTIL REBOOT.  THE COMPUTER DOES NOT SEEM TO FIND ANY WIRELESS CONNECTIONS AGAIN AT ALL. IT SEEMS LIKE THE WIRELESS CAPABILITIES HAS DISAPPEARED.
 

Solution

AS AN INTEL PROGRAMMER WOULD SAY, THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM, IT IS A FEATURE. THE SOLUTION IS VERY EASY, THOUGH. OPEN THE DEVICE MANAGER, DOUBLE-CLICK "INTEL(R) PRO/WIRELESS 3945ABG NETWORK CONNECTION".
GOTO "POWER MANAGEMENT" AND UNCLICK "ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO TURN OFF THIS DEVICE TO SAVE POWER". PROBLEM SOLVED,

WORKS WITH THE DRIVER VERSION 11.5.0.32
