    What's waking my VAIO/WiFi card?

    Although I've unticked the "allow this device to wake the computer" box in my WiFi card's driver settings, it is still listed as the culprit to wake my computer at night. Stranger still, something ticks the box again, so next time I come back to the setting I always find it ticked. This wouldn't be so bad if the laptop went back to sleep afterwards, but it doesn't. Worse: it's all funny and I have to power it down and restart.
    Does anyone know what I could try? VAIO Pro 11.

    Is there a VAIO utility that has also been installed which lets you change the settings for the wifi adapter? Like whether you want the bluetooth on or off? You might want to look through the various settings in that.
