We just returned from a week-long fishing vacation, and my brother's Broadcom wireless came up with no problems. Everything was not only shut off, but unplugged while we were gone, just in case of thunderstorms. Also, my brother tends to shut his computer off if he's going to be away from it for a while, to save on our utility bill if nothing else.
But there has been no problem. Our power switch habbits are the only thing I can think of that might be different... No, wait. Because of where the wireless card has to be in relation to where his old video card had to be, his antenna would have been placed right up against the VGA cable. So, we bought a D-Link antenna with a short cable, MUCH stronger than the original, and it's placed in a window. Maybe a better antenna would help you, too.
