Usually there is a management utility that comes with the NIC. What kind of Nic is that?

when u say "turn off" do you mean disabled when the machine is on or powered down when the machine is off?

is this something to do with wake-on-lan? ===============

this is a proxim wireless nic card. what i mean by shut off is, i don't want the OS to disable the card when it has not been used for a period of time. wazilian

oh, and i'm not sure about wake on lan, i don't think this is something that affects this, since its wireless and when the OS disables the card, it loses association, which in wireless mean you don't have a network connection. thanks. wazilian
