Hibernation problems with T43 & Vista RTM

[jeremyclark]

I've had Vista installed in various forms on my Thinkpad T43p for a few months now, and I did a fresh install of the RTM build when it arrived. From the start, I've had issues with hibernation mode and network connectivity upon wake-up. It seems to hibernate just fine, and it resumes pretty quickly and everything in the OS seems to work fine, until you need an application with a network connection (like a browser or email, etc.). The network icon in the taskbar acts like it still has a connection, but if you open a browser window it displays a "busy" cursor forever and just seems to hang. The only resolution I've found is to restart the machine.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? I just downloaded all the newest drivers for Vista from Lenovo's site, including the power management ones, but no luck so far.

This issue and my workplace's wireless EAP-TLS system's incompabitility with Vista have me frustrated to the point where I'm about to wipe my drive and reinstall XP for now...

I had the same problem on my T60p. I never did figure out what the problem was but I also removed Vista before Lenovo put out a new PowerManagement driver with updates for Vista.

My T60p with Vista RC2 use to have that problem, it got fixed by upgrade BIOS
