    Hi.
    I change my ISP few days ago and received a new ADSL-box.
    On the previous one, connection was (provided as it) set to WEP.
    After installed Win 7 and Intel Drivers, when system come back from sleep/hibernate, it re-connected to wifi, the only-one problem was that the tray-icon didn't refresh and was mark as not connected.
    With my new ISP and the new ADSL-box, the connection is set (provided as it) to WPA.
    When the system awakes from sleep/hibernate, it doesn't see any wifi network.
    I have to deactivate/reactivate the wifi card to immediatly find my wifi network.
    Wifi card: Intel ProSet/wireless 2200 BG
    Drivers : 'pack' version (dl from Intel, latest) : 12.4.3.9, given in properties tab as 9.0.4.39

    Do i have to configure something somewhere more ?
    New driver needed issue ?

    Hi Dude76,

     

    You may check if there is any firmware update for your ADSL-box first.

     

    I also suggest you perform the following steps to check the issue.

     

    Suggestion 1: Click Start, type Power plan into Search box and press Enter, change the current power plan to High performance.

     

    Suggestion 2: Click Start, type Devmgmt.msc into Search box and press Enter. Expand and double click your network adapter, switch to Power Management, uncheck the “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” box.

     

    Does it work?

    I suggest you to disable any wep or wpa for the time being and connect it through cable first and once the wireless get detected, setup the ssid and passphrase for the adsl-box as well as on the wireless setting on your system, ensuring that both the ssid and passphrase are the same
