Solve : Nic card goes out then after restart works fine until it goes out again?

Answer»

OK, so I upgraded to Win 7 and then started noticing that my NIC card goes out .. it will not read any wireless networks until i restart my computer. I was on the phone with Dell for 2hrs updating my drivers.. it still happens. I've noticed it more when I play World of Warcraft then anyother time I can be on it for 20 to 30 min and then it just goes out. I want to verify that its not my NIC or a virus before I determine that its a prob with WOW.

Inspiron 1420, Intel Core 2 Duo [emailprotected], 3gb of Ram, 32 bit Win 7 Home Premium

Nic is Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN mini-card driver is 10/1/2008 5.30.21.0

Inspiron 1420 is a laptop.Open the properties for the NIC and look for the power managment settings. See if its set to let the operating system shut down the NIC to save power.
