I have a problem with my WIFI PCMCIA network card. It shuts down now and then. Finally I found the folder where Linux installed it. I used ndiswrapper. In that folder there was another folder called cpwna100 (device name) and in that (exciting right :P) there was a .conf file.

The configuration of the device I figured. On that list there is something called: "sleepMode|2" and I figured that maybe if I wrote a 0 instead of 2 then maybe I disabled sleep mode but I dont know so that is the question.

Can I write a 0 instead of 2 and disable sleep mode?

It will be much easier for someone experienced enough to help you, if you upload your configuration file and post a link (you can post it here assuming that the conf file is of normal size).
