    Hi, so I have this little problem. When I'm not using my laptop (5920g) it goes to sleep. Well that's a good think 'couse it saves power and battery life. But when it wakes up one device is missing - ethernet. Wireless card is still availble but no lan. It happens after I installed sp1. The enet - the component of empowering software advices me to switch it on - but since there is no such device in device manager - how can I do it - refresh device list doesn't help either. After restart everything comes back to normal. The two flashing lights where the ethernet cable goes are also lit all the time - just like the device would be on. But no internet acces what so ever and no device avaibility either. After restart - all ok. So what could be the problem. Is there an option not to put ethernet to sleep. And is it possible to wake it up somehow after it dissapears. Many thanks for help in advance.
