FE41ZR wireless adapter disconnects after lock/unlock

FE41ZR connected to wireless network via built-in "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection". Internet and local network works fine.

But if notebook was locked (Windows+L or after screensaver) and then unlocked, wireless adapter always disconnects from network - icon with red "X" appear in the bottom right corner and after a half of a minute adapter connects to the network again and icon changes to globe. All download sessions in Internet Explorer canceled after that, for example.

This happens even if I press Windows+L and then enter unlock password immediately - wireless adapter always disconnected.

What the problem is?

Additional info:

1. If notebook connected via TP cable via secondary built-in "Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection" everything OK - not disconnected after lock/unlock.
2. Option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is off for "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection".

Maybe this  hotfix might make a difference. I also disabled the option in my wireless power option "allow the computer to turn of this device to save power".

Neither of those helped me, but good luck... 😞
