    See title.

    After 45 min / 1 hour the connection simply drops. The signal is great, 4 to 5 lines in Vista (very good) at these moments.

    When it drops:

    - The LED-indicator of the wireless card stays blue
    - It will not find new networks anymore: none! Normally there are 4 / 5 around this place.
    - My other pc's in the wireless connection just work without problems (xp)
    - It only works again if i go in sleepmode - and back again, or restart the laptop.
    - I still cannot find networks when i turn the device (Broadcom) off in the systemcontrol and turn it on again.

    What is the problem here you think? I have checked the energysavers, but all seems OK (set all to not go in hibernation mode etc.).
