Airstar2 vs Windows7 vs Sleep/Wakeup

[edasx]

Hello. There's a problem with the Airstar 2 in Windows 7 x86. The card (when in networking mode) isn't working after waking up the PC from standby. If you look it up in the Device Manager you will find there is a problem with the card. This can be easily solved by disabling and reenabling the card again in the Device Manager.

 

But that's annoying!

 

Using an utility called Devcon.exe ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272 ) you can automate this:

 

@echo killing dvbserver.exe
taskkill.exe /IM dvbserver.exe
@echo disabling airstar
c:\tools\devcon disable "PCI\VEN_13D0&DEV_2103&SUBSYS_210313D0&REV_02"
delay 5
@echo reenabling airstar
c:\tools\devcon enable "PCI\VEN_13D0&DEV_2103&SUBSYS_210313D0&REV_02"
@echo running dvbserver.exe
start "" "c:\program files\DVBViewer\dvbserver.exe"

 

This is assuming your card's hardwareID is "PCI\VEN_13D0&DEV_2103&SUBSYS_210313D0&REV_02". You can look this up in the properties of the card in the Device Manager. It also assumes you are running the dvbserver to broadcast and it's location is in c:\program files\DVBViewer. This part is optional. If you don't broadcast through the network with DvBServer. I do, and you have to restart the app, if you want the broadcast to work. It also assumes you unpacked the devcon.exe to c:\tools

 

This .cmd file should also be run via the task scheduler. You can actually schedule task to be run everytime the computer comes out from standby. Press the winkey, type in task scheduler, click it. Click Create TASK. Give it some name like "Airstar2 Hotfix", check run with highest privileges, then in the triggers section click new. From the top pulldown menu select "On An Event". Log: System, Source: Power-Troubleshooter, Event ID: 1. Also check delay task for and fill in "10 seconds". In actions click add and add a path to the CMD file you created above... go through the rest of the options and check and uncheck what do you like. Save the task and try to get PC a sleep. =) Hope this helps.
