When you deploy Microsoft Windows XP with the Microsoft Windows System Preparation Tool (Sysprep),
you may want to disable the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
network adapter power management setting on some computers.

If you disable this setting on portable computers, it may help preserve battery power when the network adapter causes the computer to resume unexpectedly.

Steps 4 and 5 work perfectly on my Notebook with XP Pro SP3. Maybe it's Hardware limitation of your Wireless adapter.
