    Does anyone know why every time i come out of hibernate on windows 7, my wireless capability auto turns off? Is there a way to fix this?

    yes the device is disabled for power management too. I can't find a definite answer anywhere if there is a fix and this seems to happen randomly.

    I don't use hibernate, but if I understand it, it puts your computer into a sleep like mode, disabling everything so it consumes very little power. I am not aware of any way to hibernate and not shut almost everything off. As a non hibernating person, I would not have answered, except it appears there are no other answers. If I am wrong, I appologize.

    I usually hibernate and don't have any issues with the Wireless card. What wireless card do you have?
