Intel 3945ABG loses connection after login

Using a Dell Latitude D820 with the Intel 3945ABG network card and the
latest version of Intel Pro Network Connection software. Logging on to
an active directory domain with Win 2003R2 servers. I have setup a
wireless profile using the administrator tool. The profile is setup as
both persistent and pre-logon. I have tried only persistent with
pre-logon for each user, only persistent, only pre-logon. None of these
combinations seems to work.

The pre-logon part seem to function ok. I boot the laptop and enter my
credentials. The pre-logon window pops up, it finds the profile and the
domain and logs me in. But once the login is finished the login scripts
do not run. Also I noticed the IntelPro software says the wireless
connection is good. BUT when I ping the router I get no response. If I
stop the wireless connection, it automatically restarts and I can again
ping the router.

I would like to have it stay connected during the logon process and run
scripts, etc.

Thanks,
Brian

I'm using WinXP Pro and Colubris CN330 Access points.

I just noticed another interesting thing. Once I login and restart the
wireless connection I can browse the network. But as soon as I expand a
server to see its shares, the connection drops. No connectivity.

What are versions of your 3945 driver and Proset?
How you got them: the driver came with the Proset package, or separately?

I am using Intel ProSet version 10.5.1.183
and the driver for the 3945 is version 10.5.1.75

I downloaded the package from Intel's site. I used the driver from the
Proset package.

This driver is a quite recent one, and I never heard of issue like that.
However there is a newer version of Proset: 10.5.2.0
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/scri...11850&lang=eng

Try it, if no luck - call support.
