What happens when your PC card is connected all day?

Does it do anything? Even if you are not on the internet...

My connection has been up and active with Verizon 7 x 24 since I got my system (USB727 + Cradlepoint CTR 350) last November.

VZ has never booted me off that I know of. If they did, it automatically reconnected. My usage data does not show anything that I would consider strange or excessive.

My PC is on and connected 7 X 24 and automatically downloads Windows updates and AVG virus updates.

My wife logs on and off the WiFi connection with her laptop several times a day and I log on and off with my work laptop that I bring home once a day.

Life is good.....

I had been taking mine out of the router at night because I thought maybe something would happen.

My UM175 card is installed in my desktop PC at home. The PC is on 24/7, and the card is running in NDIS mode (makes it act like an Ethernet card instead of a dialup modem). The PC is setup using the built in Internet connection sharing in XP.

Been like that for quite some time now. Works just fine!
