deSleeper 0.8

Another version of deSleeper was posted to CodePlex last night.  The important part is it fixes the networking tab so that XP users can now easily setup their network card for WakeOnLan functions without knowing needing to be a Windows expert.  Also added the ability to set the sleep timer from the same place.  That was a fair bit more work since I wrapped up the Power Management APIs to do so.  But now I have a nice clean .NET interface for power management which hides the behind the scene changes from XP to Vista. 

I'll post more about that later, but if you're considering writing a .NET app that deals with setting up power management you may want to check it out.  Since deSleeper is Apache, it's free to reuse with some mild attribution.
