and it's always nice when you see a -SOLVED in the subject line, especially 
with a good HOW-TO or link to the documentation that fixed it..
like last night, I finally got irritated enough with my wifes laptop to go 
online and search for an answer as to WHY the freakin thing would keep 
rebooting when I tried to put it to sleep.. seems Dell Inspirion w/Vi$ta has 
a common problem after installing SP1, and THERE IS A FIX!

Open Device Manager (type Device Manager into the start search box) and modify 
the properties for the

"Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card".

Leave the device enabled, but open its properties, go to the Power Management 
tab, and uncheck the
"Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" checkbox. The 
reboot problem should disappear.

dunno if that relates to an LINUX distros, as she won't let me install linux 
on it!
