Hi,

I'm having the odd problem that when my T61 wakes up from sleep, the wireless connection (WLAN) is not working.

The little LED is off and Vista doesn't even notice a problem. It just cannot connect to anywhere.. It still lets me search for WLANs and such and does not say it is turned off or anything.

I have to use the wireless switch to turn everything off and on again to get it working again.

This is really annoying.

Does anybody else have this issue?

I have seen the exact same thing happen on my T60p a few times recently. Doesn't matter if I have Access Connections installed or not. Only resolution is to reboot...

For me it helps when i just turn off/on the wireless connections. But it is very annoying having to do that after every sleep.

In another forum, people reported that this issue is associated with the Apple Bonjour service (automatically installed with quicktime, photoshop, etc). According to them, uninstalling the service fixed the problem. I, however, cannot confirm this since it didn't work for me..

I've had this same problem too. I don't remember what fixed it, but I do remember disabling a bunch of services and stuff I didn't need and I haven't had it since. I would try getting rid of the boujour service, there might be something to it.
