Wireless backup

[pooh74]

Hi,

I did a search but couldnt find anything relevant. Anyway, I am having some problems with my wirless network and was wondering:

1. If the signal drops, can I simply plug the cable directly into the laptop and use my old connection? IOW, do I need to disable the wireless card first, or should it just work? (late in a SNG this is a nightmare)

2. Why do I need need to reboot my laptop everytime the HD goes into hybernation? Shouldnt the wireless card connect automatically?

Thanks for any help/.
