So here's the deal. Randomly, when waking up from sleep, my wireless card goes into a perpetual cycle of trying to connect to my network. It shows that the network is unknown and it keeps trying to connect. Disabling the adapter and re-enabling does nothing. ip config / release and renew, flush dns, none of it works. The only way I can get it to reconnect is A. Restart laptop, or B. Restart the wlan autoconfig service. It isn't that much of a PITA, but it's something I'd prefer not to deal with. It just recently started doing this. Let me know if you need any more info.

Anyone have a clue?

Is that happening when you try to connect to specific AP or any AP?

i have the same problem on my 6920g and it happens when i try to connect to any AP.

I believe it happens to any, I haven't tried, but I don't have have the problem with 2 other computes (same windows installation, both on wireless), so it's not a problem with the router. I've also deleted the saved wireless connection in the network and sharing center and tried to reconnect to the network, which would simulate connecting to a new AP (On the PC end only though, not router wise {Hopefully that makes sense})

So no one can figure this out? @Marlanu as a last ditch effort, we could assign a hotkey to a shortcut of a .bat file that tells windows to restart the wlan autoconfig service, if restarting the service works for you. Additionally, we could create a task that restarts the service on system resume, which would probably be easier. Like I said earlier, tough it's random, so sometimes it does require the service restart. So It would be pointless to restart it EVERY time. Let me know if you would like the info on how to do either. If anyone else has a suggestion, let me know.
