Power on stall with wifi card.

Does anyone know why, when you have a wifi card with powermanagement turned
on, it takes about 20 sec for the handheld to come on when you hit the power
button? It only happens when powermanagement is turned on in the registry,
if you disablepowermanagement it comes on instantaneously.

It works the same with Socket, Linksys and Dell wifi cards (don't know about
dell's internal cards).

My problem is that I want to be able to turn the wifi card on and off (to
save battery life) only when my app needs access to the network, and I can't
do that without turning Powermanagement on which of course causes the startup
problem.

Any info would be nice.
Linksys has been decidedly unhelpful in every way. (they didn't even know
what the power output of their card was).

What device are the cards plugged into? It's just as likely to be a feature
of the power management implementation on the host device as it is to be a
feature of the card driver...

It's a TDS Recon running pocket pc 2003.

Thanks I actually didn't think about that.
