Hibernation Failure

[stevensohn]

I have a 3COM 3C905C-TX Network Card in my Asus CUSL2-C, P3/1020MHz, 512MB RAM based system, running Win2K Pro. I have the latest drivers, and it works fine. However, when I try to get the machine to hibernate, I get the following message:

"The device driver for the '3Com Etherlink 10/100 PCI For Complete PC Management NIC (3C905C-TX)' device is preventing the machine from entering hibernation. Please close all applications and try again. If the problem persists, you may need to update this driver."

The machine is not set to wake on LAN, but I still get the message. Another machine, running Win2K Server, based on Asus P2B-S, has the identical card and hibernates just fine.

Anybody got a clue?

In device manager, find your NIC and double click on it. Go to the power management tab and uncheck the box that says "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby."

That should fix the prob.

Thanks for the reply, Stash.

Both of these boxes, Allow the device to wake the computer, and Allow the computer to turn off this device, WERE unchecked.

I looked at the P2B-S machine, and it had the "Allow the computer to turn off this device" selected, so I tried that, restarted, and get the same driver message.

Wonder if it has to do with the Intel 815 ep chipset?

Any other ideas?
