Can't connect to networks when returning from sleep mode.
I have a D-Link DWA-552 in my desktop. When I awake my computer from sleep mode, my computer is no longer connected. I try to reconnect and it wont do anything. I have to restart the computer to be able to connect again.Win7 64bit.

If you do a quick search of the forums for sleep mode, you'll see that letting the computer go to sleep is a bad idea. Until the issue is resolved, it is best to avoid it altogether.

But there was not that issue in the Beta. Why the back-step???? RC took alot of steps back from the Beta-WMP is not as cool, compatability issues with MSFT products as well as other software.

Yeah, i had already messed with the power options and set my network card to always stay on (though it worried me cuz it increases my chances of getting a virus or something), but didn't do anything. Guess I just wont let my computer go to sleep.

I am having a similar issue. I generally close my lid on my laptop and let it sleep, but sometimes when switching on in the morning again, no network. If I go to the adapter, it shows that it is working, but network center shows it is disabled. I tried to reboot but then logged me in on a temp profile as the network was still down. I even tried changing power profiles on the adapter and drivers. This morning the same happened. Walked away and about 5 minutes later it suddenly worked. So far this is the only major problem I am having. And this has only started in the last week. Been running 32 bit RC build 7100 now since May the 7th.
