Correct, boot with CD and there are only two options: create partition
and delete partition.  I was not constrained by reading any
instructions...  Sadly, I could not get the network connection to work
after waking up the computer even if I ran SETUP.CMD or TCPSTART.CMD.

  
        
This is most likely a power management issue, possibly addressed by the ACPI driver. I would suggest reporting this condition on the appropriate mailing list.

As for reporting it, I would think an eCS ticket would be most
appropriate -- perhaps this has even been fixed in eCS 2.0??

I don't think it is a 'driver' issue; rather a hardware issue.  I think
there is really only one logical device and the BIOS [switched via
Fn-F7] determines where the data actually goes.

  
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).
