Active socket connections are disconnected when you suspend and resume a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based device

To resolve this issue, apply the Windows Embedded Compact 7 Monthly Update (January 2013) and then change the values of the following registry entries to 0. The default registry values are 1.

Note The changes work only when the Wi-Fi adapter is power manageable for suspend-resume cycles (such as RTL8139 WIFI).

• ResetOnSuspendResume
  
  Note This registry entry configures the WLAN AutoConfig behavior and is located under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WLANSVC registry subkey.
• DisconnectOnHalt
  
  Note This registry entry configures the nWiFi behavior andis located under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\<Adapter>\Parms\ExtSTA registry subkey.
  The <Adapter> placeholder represents the RTL WIFI adapter card (For example, PCI\rtlnwifi1).
