At least with xp x64, when i put windows on stand by (instead of turning it off), and wake it up, i can't anymore use the wmb.
It says "DeviceWritePacket() failed" repetitively.
Can anyone with xp classic or x64 confirm? or am I the only one to get that bug?

I remember someone else posting about this problem, but I can't seem to find the thread. My solution (and the one someone else posted) is to bring up the Windows Device Manager, disable the card, and then re-enable it. That should allow it to work again. You could also just restart, but this should be quicker.

It's a problem with the special wifi-driver. They aren't made for stand-by. So you have to unload the driver and load it again. This can be made by removeing the hardware (PCMCIA). Is there any equivalent to rmmod/modprobe in win?
It's no bug, it's a missing feature (and I don't think it's worth the coding time...).

I have the same issue with my PCMIA card. There are tools like devcon (MS$) and deveject (some german tool, might only be useful for drives).
But with PCMCIA it's easier to replug it :)
I've mentioned this earlier and I think Firefly should be able to make a fix for it.

Happens to me after hibernating (XP Pro).
To get it going again without a reboot, just go into device manager and disable then reenable the device - that seems to work for me, anyway
