intel/pro wireless abg shutting off..

3rd time this week it happened..so far it happen while im using battery power.

the internet stops and the wireless icon on the bottom of the screen does not light up anymore.
the computer tries to diagnose it but says cant find any wireless in the area even I know for sure i get 100% signal.

I get it back working by restarting my computer.


I did a search on this before and some think its access connection(think vantage) has a part on this.. almost like its fighting who gets to manage the wireless network??

I shut off automatic radio control on access connection>configure yesterday and thought it would fix the problem but it did it again today.

anyway I can fix this???? or has anyone experience this??


would it be a problem if I uninstall access connections ??? try to let windows manage my wireless ( would it?)

 

I have a T61 2.4 ghz t8300, 3gb ram 120 gb 5400 rpm HD, with Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

 

I personally prefer Windows' wireless connection service. To use it, first disable the Thinkpad tool (no need to uninstall, right-clicking and going to disable should be enough), and then setting up the connection through "Network Connections" in the control panel. If I'm not mistaken, that will start the service in charge of wireless and it should work.

 

well I just got off the phone with lenovo tech support.... he told me to go to device manger first and uninstall intel/pro(wireless card)... then he said I can go ahead and uninstall access connection to see if it fixes the problem..

well im back online and will see how it goes.. ill place it back on battery again

 

he also gave me a # to get some windows XP OS cds..he hates vista lol
