If it hibernates and resumes to Windows, reactivating the NIC properly, 
then this is more than likely a power management issue, and not one 
addressed in the BIOS. From Hakan's description, however, it only 
affects the onboard NIC and not the wireless card, which is interesting 
(different PCI bus). I understand your point, Carl, but there are in 
fact two ethernet devices seen by the hardware and the software. 
Somehow, one of them is not getting power upon resume.

Hakan: does the system suspend and resume normally, or do you get the 
same symptom as when resuming from hibernation?

Back on-topic, and probably should be split off into a separate thread:  
I'm interested to hear from both of you as to any Wi-Fi dropouts you may 
experience with the 2915 or the 3945 cards. I find the later Intel 
drivers to be less susceptible to this condition, but still, they 
happen. I have a client where we just deployed two T60's (running XP), 
patched to the latest levels (the latest Intel driver for the 3945 did 
*not* work properly with Access Connections, so I had to roll back to 
the latest offered by Lenovo), and I have seen a couple dropouts already 
(and not related to the use of WPA2; these were complete loss of 
connectivity from the card, requiring a reboot to reactivate).
