intel wireless 2100 - loses connection upon standby

Whenver I close the lid on my Inspiron 8600 and the machine goes into standby, the wireless connection is lost.  When it comes out of standby, the connection is not available and you are forced to go into the utility program and manually hit connect

 

How is this fixed?

Thanks

    Do you have the most recent driver for the 2100? Here's Dell's description...

    Release Title: Network: Intel (R) Pro/Wireless 2100 LAN miniPCI Adapter, Driver, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Multi Language, Multi System, v.1.2.2.8 7.1.2.10, A13
    Release Date: 4/13/2004

    The "fixes" list mentions suspend/resume problems.

    That version's available  here.

    How about Microsoft's "Wireless Update rollup package"? Some people have had better luck using XP's built-in support, others the ProSet utility that comes from Intel. You might want to try it both ways...but not both at once!

    i downloaded the drivers today so yes, they are the most recent

    when the computer is booted up, the utility also does not connect automatically; i have to manually go into it and hit connect on the profile
