XP hibernation on Netgear wireless adapter

Have a very old laptop which is simply used as a backup machine in a bedroom.

It used to run Windows 2000 - worked perfectly well.

Decided to install XP. All fine and dandy.

But for the life of me I cannot work out why, when it comes out of hibernation mode. the wireless adapter doesn't wake up.

I have to physically unplug/replug it. Then it comes into life again.

The wireless adapter is a Netgear WG111T - the laptop is so old that it doesn't support USB2.0. That is not the issue - well at least I don't think so.

So, as I see it, put Windows 2000 back on the machine - dreading the massive SP4 download ! Or try to work out the XP configuration.

It is not a power setting before you ask.

I have have explored all possibilities I don't particularly like Netgear equipment but I have ruled out that as an issue. I.e. tried different firmware etc etc. Raising a Tech case with them is like weeing in the wind !!

Any suggestions ?
