    I'm having a problem with my M1330 Vista x64 when I close the lid. I have the power settings set to "do nothing" when I close the lid but when I close it I hear the sound for disconnecting a usb device and I'm pretty sure it's my wifi card (4965AGN) because my torrent downloads stop basically. When I open the lid I hear the usb connection sound and the wifi card starts right up again. I have also disabled the power management feature for my wifi card in device manager properties.
    Has anyone else had this problem before and what's the solution?

    Hmm.. It shouldn't be doing that.. The WiFi card is on a mini PCI-e slot, not on internal USB..

    You can try turning off LSPM under PCI express settings, in advanced power options, as well as disabling USB selective suspend..
