why is my Airport off whenever I put the laptop to sleep orreboot?

[Mike Levin]

Hi all -

I have a 2001 G4 titanium laptop. I noticed that all of a sudden (didn't
used to do this!), every time it goes to sleep or gets rebooted, the Airport
is off. I have to go and manually turn it to "on" (via control strip). How
can I bring it back to the original state (when it was always on)?

Thanks in advance!

I have a similar but different problem with Airport. If I switch it off from
the control strip (or sleep the computer) then switch it on again (or wake
the computer) the Airport says it is connected but refuses to work. I have
to restart the computer to make it work again.

The problem only happens with 'ad-hoc' connections; not with
'infrastructure' connections. I'm using a PB G4 12/867/256/10.2.6

I used to have a similar problem with my iBook about six months ago.
When the iBook was put to sleep I would have to restart the machine or
physically turn it on. I saw this problem disappear with new releases of
OS X. Now both iBook and two months old PowerMac can be put to sleep and
they both automatically connect to my wireless network.

Are you both running the latest OS X or running OS 9 or earlier?
