Oddly, my Vista laptop was dropping the wired Ethernet link each time that I unlocked the computer. Very frustrating as all my apps would have to reconnect, etc.
After some quick poking around in the power settings, I've uncovered in the properties of the Intel 82567LM network card:
- Reduce link speed during battery operation
- Reduce link speed during system idle
Uncheck these, and the issue goes away : )
It has to be said, Intel does have some stupid "default" settings on this card. Here's a registry hack to be able to see 802.1p/q headers, which for some reason Intel, by default, doesn't want us to see... bizarre.
