    Hello @LL!

    I have just bought a new Aspire 5920G and decided to install Windows XP on it (there are some softwares what still havent Vista support). Everything went fine until I tried to use my wireless card. When I am trying to use it I can NOT get constant connection, because the connections drops all the time. Sometimes only the connection drops, sometimes it says there is no wireless device in your system. Sometimes I have to restart my laptop, sometimes it reappears by itself. Its total random and I am going crazy during my work, because my wired acces to the network is limited.

    I found a solution in one of the archive topic that says, try to set Maximum Performance on battery in Wireless Adapter Settings > Power Saving Mode in Device Manager.

    Just a remark: I could not find exactly the same option in the settings, I found Power Managment instead, probably its the same, but probably its something different, I dont know.

    So I have already done that, it worked for an hour or two and my problem occured again. Does anybody have any solution for my problem?

    Some details about my hardware/software in use:
    Acer Aspire 5920G - Up to date Windows XP Professional
    Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection - Intel provided driver v11.5.0.32 date: 26/09/2007

    Any new information/solution/tip would be greatly appriciated!

    Thanks for your help in advance,

    Best regards:
    bANDYka

    Yeah, launch manager have been installed as well as wireless button is lightning on the left. Of course the wireless is turned on. But when the wireless drops and it says there is no wireless device found in your system the wireless lighh on the left stops lightning.

    About the drivers, see my first post (Intel provided driver v11.5.0.32 date: 26/09/2007) I guess its the newest available driver.
