Network Card Disappears in Thinkpad On Battery 
Deep Smart Power Down support for ThinkPad T60/T60p


Deep Smart Power Down (DSPD)
----------------------------
Deep Smart Power Down turns off the on-board Ethernet when link
is down or the network cable is disconnected. After a timeout
period, the Ethernet will power off. To the operating system,
this appears as a "hot-unplugged" Ethernet. When the network
cable is reconnected and link is restored, the Ethernet powers
up and functionality is fully restored. This appears as a
"hot-plugged" Ethernet. This function is available in Windows
XP and functions when the system is battery mode.


DSPD information:
-----------------


To disable DSPD,
----------------
1. Connect AC power to the system
2. Open Device Manager
3. Double-click Network adapters
