FnF4 doesn't work after updated Network Adapter

Hi,

My Toshiba A355-S6940 which is barely 3 months old continued to drop
the Wifi connections several times a day. After browsing around I
realized I should download drivers for it from Toshibadirect.com. So I
downloaded Intel Wi-fi driver after which the Wi-fi connection doesn't
drop but pressing Fn-F4 doesn't put my laptop to sleep anymore.

So as suggested by many people on the web, I went to control panel &
clicked on Device Manager. Selected the Intel Wifi manager and right
clicked on it to view Properties. On Power Management tab, I read that I
need to uncheck "Allow this device to wake the computer". But this
option is grayed out for me and disabled.

What do I do?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'll take a wild-assed guess: CONTACT TOSHIBA SUPPORT.

Try rolling back the drivers to the last working version (open Device
Manager, find the wireless adapter in the list, right-click it and select
Properties, click the Driver tab, finally hit the Roll Back button). Does
that resolve your problem?
