Wireless Card constantly goes offline when unattended

I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop with an Intell WiFi card. It doesn't disconnect
when I am in front of the computer, actively using it, but I walk away for an
hour or so, it will disconnect from the Internet, and the only way I can get
it back online is to Repair it.

I've got WPA on my wireless router, so I'm pretty sure one of my neighbors
isn't wardriving and knocking me off my own network.

Any reason why this would be doing this?

Hi
Make sure that the Power Saving in the Wireless Card Drivers is Unchecked
(I.e. No Power Saving).
Look at other Standby settings and get the Network components out of the
Standby "Loop".
I.e. make sure that as far as the Network is concerned every thing is kept
alive even when you are Not using the computer.
