    I can't be sure yet but the a/b/g/n card I have seems to flaky after my laptop come out of hibernation. This isn't an easy thing to be sure of. Typically such issues are driver related (which I got the latest of) has anyone else had trouble?

    Perhaps it is something else. I will keep investigating.

    Well I just went in and out of hibernation, and it still is connected. But I have to say it has quite a few problems. I'm literally only 4 feet from my router, which my former laptop had nearly no problems with. The symptom is essential that sometimes it will find no network, other times it will find a network, but refuse to connect (though in that case it might be another draft N network now that I think about it and maybe it tires to do it N, and fails).

    In any case if anyone else knows tweaks here, I'd be somewhat obliged. I doubt it is the physical hardware as it is an intermittent problem.

    As far as I can test (for now) it looks like it is simply a mater of turning off the "deep sleep" for the Gigabit Ethernet. Must make the network stack mess up when it just vanishes or something. We will see. There isn't any fool proof test of if its going to have this problem that I have been able to find.

    This message for anyone else having this trouble also.
