Wifi Sleep Mode
I've got a similar problem on a Dell Vostro and tried all of the above. Basically after the computer wakes from sleep the wifi is disconnected. Setting power mode to maximum performance and the options to prevent the OS from powering the onboard wifi down have no effect. Anyone with other ideas to try? (also tried updating the wifi drivers from the Dell website, but Dell don't seem to have updated them since I bought the computer anyway). Perhaps someone knows how to determine the Broadcom wifi chipset version and were to get OEM drivers from? I cannot believe this, but after months of trying to fix this (on and off, trying and then giving up), it turns out that, for me, checking ON (enabled) the 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” worked.
Got this idea from My guess is that the driver expects to turn the network card back on after sleep or on a cold boot, and because the option is turned off, it toggles the 'switch' from being already on to off. Anyway it works for me now, perfectly.
